### Change the Report Period, Display Overtime Work, and Modify Other Options of Your Task List in the TeamInbox

By default, the Task List shows the days of the week that compose the report period. For example, if the report period is from Monday 12/30 to Sunday 1/5, you’ll see a column for each day of the week in that period. However, you can change the report period or the time units displayed in the Task List.

The time units that are available include:

- Total for the entire period, which displays a separate field for the total amount of work that has been performed on the task.
- Day, which is the default setting and displays a separate field for each day in the report period.
- Week, which displays a separate field for each week in the report period. This option is helpful when the tasks continue for several weeks.

When you change the timescale, all the work values currently saved in the Task List will be erased. You can also choose to display overtime work and change the day on which the week starts.

To change the options of your Task List

1. Open your TeamInbox.
2. Click Task List, and then click Options.
