How to set a deadline for a Task


You can add a deadline to a Task to inform the relevant team members when a project or task is due. The deadline will also appear on the tickets in the board view, and the color of the deadline bubble will change from green to yellow to red as the deadline gets closer. 


To add a deadline to a Task follow these steps:


  1. Open the Task you would like to edit


  2. Click on + Add field



  1. Click Deadline



  1. The Deadline field will appear at the bottom of the right list within the Task. Select the desired deadline from the calendar.



  1. If you are done editing, you can close the Task to save changes. The deadline will be displayed on the Task in the Board view as well. 



If the Deadline is: 


  • Gray: The date is further away, there is still time to carry out the task. 

  • Orange: The date is close; it is time to carry out the task; it should be done by tomorrow. There 1 day left to carry out the task.

  • Red: The date is today, and the deadline is up. The task should be carried out today. Or the deadline was in the past, the task should be ready by now.
