Dates and scheduling
Every task with a due date appears on the calendar and can trigger email reminders through its alert level.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”Set the Due Date when you create or edit a task. Org-wide working days live in Settings → General.
Set a due date
Section titled “Set a due date”- Open Tasks → New Task, or open an existing task
- Click the Due Date field
- Pick a date from the calendar picker
- You can change the frequency of the task in the Frequency field - see Recurring tasks
Tasks without a due date do not appear on the calendar and do not get date-based alert emails.
Working days (organization)
Section titled “Working days (organization)”Some recurring tasks can use working days only - due dates skip non-working days.
- Open Settings → General (requires org settings permission)
- Under Working Days, toggle which weekdays count as working days
- Changes will affect future occurrences of tasks with “working days only” enabled. For example, if a due date falls on a non-working day, it will be moved to the previous working day.
See Recurring tasks for the task-level toggle.
