The Requests & Actions section starts off the work day with all tasks that need attention. Encompassing two fields (Open Items & Last 30 Days) that build out into the following:

OPEN ITEMS:  The number of items assigned to you and their current status:

• Requests - new items you have been assigned that you need to acknowledge.

• In Progress - 'Not Started' and 'In Progress' items.
• Overdue - a count of the overdue items that are in 'Request', 'Not Started' or 'In Progress'.
• Timesheet Approvals - timesheets awaiting your approval (available only if timesheets are enabled for the instance)

LAST 30 DAYS: Your activity on the items assigned to you in the last 30 days:

• how many items have been assigned to you; and 
• the how many of your assigned items have been closed.
