The two widgets
Work List — provides a list of all outstanding operations for a selected resource, filtered by operation status (not by date). manifest.json:6
Weekly Work List — provides a weekly overview showing when a selected resource's operations are due across the current week. manifest.json:6
Both share the same filter logic, so conditions 1 and 2 below apply to both. Condition 3 applies to the Weekly Work List only.
Conditions for the widgets to populate
1. You need at least one view outside the "System" folder
Both widgets build their View and Resource filters from your Orchestrate views, but they deliberately ignore the built-in System folder views (e.g. Goods In, Sales Orders, Late Components). In Orchestrate, open Folder Manager and make sure you have at least one folder other than System with your views saved in it. (A view not filed in any folder also works — the only thing excluded is the System folder.)
2. Every view must have at least one resource attached
A view with no resources is skipped entirely. Each view that should feed the widgets needs at least one resource added to it. The Resource filter is built directly from the resources attached to your views, so no resources = empty filter = empty widget.
3. There must be work planned in the current week — Weekly Work List only
The Weekly Work List organises work by day across the current week, so it only shows tasks in the current plan that are planned, not archived, not complete, and scheduled to fall within this week. If all work is future-dated or in the past, it'll look empty for "this week" even when everything else is set up correctly — this is expected behaviour, not a fault.
The plain Work List does not have this restriction — it lists all outstanding operations for the selected resource (filtered by operation status, not by week), so it will populate as long as conditions 1 and 2 are met and there are outstanding operations for that resource.
Note on the "Only show Published views" setting
There's a system parameter, WebAppOnlyShowPublishedViews. When it's off (the default), publishing has no effect. If someone turns it on, then views must also be flagged "Publish to Web" to appear in either widget's filters.
Quick checklist
