Set task dates and deadlines

Add start and due dates so tasks stay planned and overdue work is visible.

Dates help you plan task work and spot overdue follow-up.

You can set when a task starts and when it is due.

1

Open the task

Create a new task or edit an existing one.

2

Set the start date

Fill in Start Date if the work should begin at a specific moment.

3

Set the due date

Fill in Due Date to define the deadline.

4

Add times if needed

Add a start time or due time when your process needs more precision.

5

Save

Save the task.

Why dates matter

• they support planning
• they help with overdue monitoring
• they give better task filtering

Frequently asked questions

Can I create a task without a due date?

Yes.

But then deadline-based follow-up is less clear.

What happens when the due date passes?

Your task workflow can show it as overdue or expired.

That depends on the status logic in your setup.

Can I change the due date later?

Yes.

Edit the task and save the new date.
