1. A system configured to present views of work unit records in chat sessions between users of a collaboration environment, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured to execute machine-readable instructions to:
manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment, the collaboration environment being configured to facilitate interaction by users with the collaboration environment, the environment state information including work unit records, the work unit records describing units of work previously created within the collaboration environment, and previously assigned within the collaboration environment to the users who are expected to accomplish one or more actions to complete the units of work;
automatically identify a first work unit record previously created and previously assigned within the collaboration environment based on content of a chat session including a series of real-time communications between a first user and a second user, wherein the chat session facilitates synchronous communication between the first user and the second user through graphical chat interfaces, and wherein the content of the chat session which provides a basis for automatically identifying the first work unit record includes first content entered by the first user during the chat session and second content entered by the second user during the chat session in accordance with the series of real-time communications between the first user and the second user;
in response to identifying the first work unit record, generate and present views of a first work unit page concurrently with the graphical chat interfaces of the chat session so that the views of the first work unit page appear alongside the graphical chat interfaces, the first work unit page corresponding to the first work unit record, the first work unit page presenting information stored in the first work unit record, the views of the first work unit page providing access to the first work unit record so that the first work unit record is editable by the first user and/or the second user via the views of the first work unit page presented concurrently with the graphical chat interfaces of the chat session; and
wherein the first work unit page of the first work unit record displays editable values of one or more parameters of the first work unit record.
