Boost your Work Items for easier management and improved collaboration.
Each Work Item in Timebook has its own card that you can view by pressing on the Work Item. The Work Item card is divided into two panes; the one on the left shows all available options to boost the Work Item with additional information.
Use these options to add more content to your Work Items, create relationships between them, or tag and comment on them to improve collaboration.
Customize your Work Item using all the options on the left side of its card.
Available Work Item options
The list below covers the options you can find in the left pane of any Work Item card. Starting from the ones at the top, you can use the following options:
[List picker]
The button in the top-left corner lets you assign a Work Item to one of the in this or another . Press the button, select a Planner and one of its Lists, and press [Change location] to confirm.
[Add parent]
You can make a Work Item a part of a larger task or project by giving it a parent Work Item. For more details, see Parent & child Work Items
[Work Item type]
The icon to the left of your Work Item's name is actually a picker that you can use to change the Work Item type. Different Work Item types come with different sets of fields that you can define.
In short, the properties you see on the right side of the Work Item card depend on the type selected here. For more details, see Work Item fields and Item library

This option is similar to the [Add parent] option but reversed. Use it to select another Work Item that will become a smaller part of your current Work Item. For more details, see Parent & child Work Items
[Link item]
You can use this option to create relationships between different Work Items. Linking items is a simple way of showing other collaborators that there are some dependencies between Work Items. The following types of linking are available here:
