Due dates, priorities and overdue tasks

#Due dates

Every task can have a Due date. It's optional, but tasks with a date are much harder to forget.

When you create or edit a task, pick a date or click a quick button: Today, Tomorrow, Next Mon or In a week. Click No date to clear it.

In the calendar, drag a task to another day to move its date.

On cards and lists, the due date shows as a label:

• 2 days overdue (red, with a clock)
• Due today
• Due tomorrow or Due Oct 30
• No due date

Dates follow your agency's time zone. A director sets it in Settings → Organization & emails.

#Overdue tasks

A task is overdue when its due date has passed and it isn't done. You'll notice:

• In the sidebar, a red number next to Tasks counts your overdue tasks.
• On the Today page, the red part of the Your day bar, the overdue count, and Needs you now at the top of your lists.
• On the board, overdue tasks come first in each group.
• In the calendar, a small red dot on the day.
• In the morning email, they're listed first, under Overdue.

To see every overdue task in the office:

1. Open Tasks.
2. In Assigned to, choose Everyone.
3. Click the Overdue chip.

#Priorities

Each task has a Priority: Low, Normal, High or Urgent. New tasks are Normal.

• Pick it with the buttons in New task or Edit.
• High and Urgent show a flag on cards, lists and the calendar.
• With the same due date, higher priorities sort first.
• A new-task email for an Urgent task says so at the top.

Keep Urgent for things that truly can't wait, like a family without services tomorrow. If everything is urgent, nothing is.

#Tasks with no date

They come last in each group, and in the No due date list on the Today page. The morning email gives a count without listing them. To find them, click the No date chip on the board, or No date (N) in the calendar.
