Due dates help your team stay on schedule. Workly makes it easy to set, track, and manage deadlines across all your projects.
Set a due date
- Click the due date field on any task
- Pick a date from the date picker
- The due date is saved immediately
Due dates in Calendar view
Tasks appear on the Calendar view based on their due dates. You can:
- See all deadlines at a glance in weekly or monthly view
- Drag tasks to a new date to reschedule
- Drag unscheduled tasks from the sidebar onto the calendar
Overdue tasks
Tasks that pass their due date without being completed are marked as overdue. Overdue indicators appear:
- In the task list with a red date indicator
- In the Calendar view’s overdue sidebar
- As notification reminders
Upcoming deadlines
The project overview dashboard card shows upcoming deadlines — tasks with the nearest due dates. This helps you prioritise what needs attention soon.
Filter by due date
Use the filter panel to filter tasks by due date range. Set a “from” and “to” date to see tasks due within a specific window — useful for weekly planning.
Date custom fields
Beyond the main due date, create Date custom fields for tracking additional dates like start dates, milestones, or review deadlines.
