--- title: What Today shows description: "See what needs doing now: files to send or answer, society responses, your catalogue in numbers and charts, and your recent saved changes." keywords: [Today, files in progress, society responses, catalogue in numbers, charts, month by month, from saved to accepted, recent saved changes, home screen] --- **Today** is the first screen you see. It shows the catalogue you have open, with how many works it holds, what to do next, and where your files and works stand. ## What you will see From the top of the screen down: - **A search box, **Find a work**.** It appears once the catalogue has works. Type a title, work reference or [ISWC](/docs/cwr/glossary#iswc), then press Enter or choose **Search**, and the Catalogue opens with that search applied. - ****Get set up**.** The five-step card for a new workspace. It disappears when every step is done. See [Your first file in five steps](/docs/workspace/start-here). - ****Your next step**.** One panel with one button. See [What needs you next](/docs/workspace/today/needs-you). - ****Files in progress**.** Files you have prepared and not yet finished with. See below. - ****Society responses**.** The responses you have uploaded. See below. - ****Your catalogue in numbers**.** Counts of your works, each a way into what is behind it. - ****From saved to accepted**.** A chart of where your works stand with one society. It appears once you have chosen your societies. - ****Month by month**.** Four charts of the last 12 months. It appears once the catalogue holds ten works. - ****Already registered some of these works?**** For owners and editors, once the catalogue has works. The button **Bring in old files and replies** opens your registration history. See [Upload your registration history](/docs/workspace/files/registration-history). - ****Needs you**** and ****Recent saved changes****, at the bottom. ![Today for a catalogue with works, showing Find a work, Get set up, Your next step, Files in progress, Society responses, Your catalogue in numbers, From saved to accepted, Month by month, Needs you and Recent saved changes.](/docs/img/workspace/today-overview.png) ### Files in progress TrackForge sends nothing itself, so a prepared file stays here until you have sent it and uploaded the society's reply. Each file shows the society, how many works it holds, its file name and a badge: - **Prepared — not sent**. Send the file to the society yourself, then press **Record that you sent it**. - **Awaiting response**. You have recorded the send. When the society replies, press **Upload the response**. If no response has come after 30 days, the line reads **No response after 30 days**. If you can only look, the button on each file reads **Open file**. See [Download, send and record](/docs/workspace/files/send). ![The Files in progress card on Today on a phone, with one file prepared and not sent and one file awaiting a response.](/docs/img/workspace/today-phone.png) ### Society responses Each response you have uploaded appears here, newest first, with the society and what it said, for example one work needing correction and four accepted. A response that changed nothing, because a later one stands, sits below the others. **Open the file** takes you to the file it answers. Until you upload one, the card says so. See [Understand a response](/docs/workspace/files/understand-a-response). ### Your catalogue in numbers Once you have chosen your societies, the card starts with **Where your works are up to**, which splits your works by status. Each work is counted once, under the most pressing status any of your societies gives it. Choose a part, on the bar or in the list under it, to open those works in the Catalogue. A status with no works is left out. With fewer than ten works the card shows the figures as a list, with no bar. ![The card Your catalogue in numbers, with the bar Where your works are up to above six tiles of counts.](/docs/img/workspace/today-numbers.png) The tiles below the bar count differently: a work is counted under every heading that applies. They count works, not files, so a file of five works adds five. **Needs information**, **Saved works** and **Registered differently** open the Catalogue list. **Needs correction**, **Awaiting response** and **Accepted** open **Files and responses**. - **Needs information**: works with details to add. You can still save them. - **Needs correction**: works a society rejected or queried. - **Awaiting response**: works you have sent and have no response for yet. If exactly one file is waiting, the tile opens that file. - **Accepted**: works accepted in the latest response. - **Saved works**: everything in the catalogue. - **Registered differently**: works where a society holds different details from your catalogue. This tile appears only when the number is above zero. The counts come from your TrackForge history, so a work with nothing recorded may already be registered elsewhere. [What the statuses mean](/docs/workspace/catalogue/statuses) explains each one. ### From saved to accepted This card follows your works through one society. **Saved works** is on the left and the society's answer on the right. Works that have not gone to the society yet are gathered under **Still with you**, and works it has answered under **Answered**. Each work is counted once, by where it stands with that society. With more than one society, choose which in **Society**. Choose a part of the chart to open those works in the Catalogue. On a narrow screen the card shows one bar in place of the chart, and with fewer than ten works a list of figures. ![The card From saved to accepted for one society, with Saved works on the left flowing to the statuses the works are in.](/docs/img/workspace/today-flow.png) ### Month by month Four charts of the last 12 months. They are there to look at and open nothing. Each gives its figure in words above the drawing. - **Works added**: works first saved in each month. - **Sends recorded**: sends you recorded in each month. - **Answers from societies**: a work is counted once for each society, under its latest answer, in the month that answer arrived. - **Accepted so far**: works a society has accepted, counted once for each society and added up month by month. A chart with nothing to show says so in words, for example **No sends recorded in the last 12 months.** ![The card Month by month, with the four charts Works added, Sends recorded, Answers from societies and Accepted so far.](/docs/img/workspace/today-months.png) ### Recent saved changes A table with the columns **Work**, **Change** and **Saved**, newest first. **Change** reads **Added** for a new work, or **Version** and a number for an edit. Choose a title to open the work. ## If something goes wrong - **Today could not be loaded.** Press **Try again**, or **Open saved catalogue** to carry on in the Catalogue. - **A part of a chart opens nothing.** On **From saved to accepted**, **No TrackForge history** opens the list only when the list would show exactly the works the chart counts. The charts in **Month by month** open nothing. ## Related - [What needs you next](/docs/workspace/today/needs-you) - [Finding your way around](/docs/workspace/finding-your-way) - [Find, filter and sort works](/docs/workspace/catalogue/find)
