Todo Sets
Todo sets are containers that group related todos within a team workspace. Every todo belongs to exactly one set. Sets are listed in the sidebar and can be reordered, renamed, or deleted.
Default Set
When a user first accesses a team workspace, Glint automatically creates a default set if none exists. The default set name is configurable in Settings → Branding (default_set_name; defaults to "Not Grouped").
This ensures the workspace is immediately usable without any manual setup.
Creating Sets
Users with manage_sets permission can create sets:
- Scroll to the bottom of the sidebar's set list.
- Click New set.
- Type a name and press Enter or click the confirm button.
The new set appears at the end of the list with the next available sortOrder. It becomes the active set automatically.
Renaming Sets
- Hover over a set in the sidebar to reveal the
...menu. - Click Rename.
- Enter the new name in the dialog and confirm.
Requires: manage_sets, or you must be the creator of the set.
Deleting Sets
- Open the
...menu on the set. - Click Delete.
- Confirm the deletion in the dialog.
WARNING
Deleting a set permanently removes the set and all todos within it, including sub-todos and all comments. This cannot be undone.
Requires: manage_sets, or you must be the creator of the set.
Reordering Sets
On desktop, drag sets in the sidebar using the drag handle to change their order. The new order is saved immediately via the reorder API.
Drag-and-drop is not available on mobile. On mobile, sets can be reordered from Settings → Sets (if you have manage_sets).
Requires: manage_sets.
Per-Set Options
Each set has configurable options accessible via the ... menu → Options (or the set's settings panel).
Split Completed Todos
When enabled, completed todos are separated from active todos within the set — they appear in a collapsible "Completed" section below the active list.
This is set per-set and does not affect other sets. The setting persists for all users viewing the set (it's a server-side property, not a personal preference).
Per-Set Permissions
Each set can have its own permission overrides, independent of global team permissions. This is useful for:
- Restricting sensitive sets — prevent members from viewing a set used for confidential planning.
- Opening up specific sets — allow members to reorder or manage todos in a single set without granting those permissions globally.
To configure per-set permissions:
- Go to Settings → Permissions.
- Open the Scope dropdown and select the specific set.
- Toggle permissions for Admin / Member as needed.
- Click Save Permissions.
Per-set overrides take priority over global permissions. See Permissions for the full resolution order.
Set Visibility
Sets are listed to all team members who have view_todos in at least one set. If view_todos is revoked for a specific set, users in that role:
- Do not see todo content when they navigate to that set.
- Receive an "Unauthorized" notice and are redirected to the home page.
- The set still appears in the sidebar (it is not hidden), but access is blocked when clicked.
