Due Dates and Overdue Tasks in Projects

In Projects, any board can have a column that acts as the task's due date. Omnifox watches it and automatically flags any task that passes it without being marked done.

Requirements

• The Crece, Escala or higher plan (Projects isn't included in Lite or Conecta).
• The board needs at least one Date or Timeline column.

How to set a due date column

1. Open the board and find the Date column (or add one from Add column).
2. Open the column's menu (⋯) and go to its settings.
3. Turn on "Use as due date".
4. Save. From then on, the overdue detector watches that column.

If you use a Timeline column (a date range), Omnifox uses the range's end date as the due date.

Example

On the "Tech Support" board you turn on "Use as due date" on the Delivery Date column. You add a task due July 12. If by July 13 the task still isn't marked done, it shows as overdue on the Projects Dashboard and in My Tasks.

How detection works

An automatic sweep checks every task whose due date has passed and that is not completed (its Status column isn't set to a "done" option). Each task is flagged exactly once per due date — moving the date re-arms the check.

Tips

• If a board has several date columns, only the one flagged as due date feeds the detector; the rest stay purely informational.
• A task stops counting as overdue the moment its Status is marked done.

Troubleshooting

• Task isn't showing as overdue: check that the column has "Use as due date" turned on and that the task's Status isn't already "Done".
• I don't see "Use as due date": it only appears on Date and Timeline columns, not on Text or other column types.
