Task Deadlines

Tasks can be assigned a due date in enaio® coLab. This can be done both when creating the task and later on. Due dates that have been set can also be changed or cleared later on. Each project member can set, change, and clear due dates.

You can find information in Creating Tasks on how to set a due date when creating a task.

You can find information in Editing Tasks on how to change or clear due dates later on.

It is possible that the tasks view and the task area on the project’s overview page have been hidden in the settings of enaio® coLab (see The General Settings Area).

Viewing Task Deadlines

Due dates of tasks are shown in the tasks view (in the Due on column in the task table) and on the project’s overview page of the respective project member to whom tasks with due dates have been assigned.

Tasks that have not been completed are

• indicated in the Tasks view by highlighted entries in the task table (Status column).

  • Green = active

  • Red = expired

  • Blue = completed

• indicated on the Overview page of a project in the tasks list by lines in different colors.

  • Blue = this is shown if more than 50 percent of the deadline period still remains

  • Orange = this is shown if less than 50 percent but more than 20 percent of the deadline period still remains

  • Red = this is shown if less than 20 percent of the deadline time period still remains or if the deadline period has expired

  Completed tasks are not shown on the project overview page.
