Dates in Cards
This post is also available in: Deutsch
Dates in cards are the specific terms associated with individual cards within a space. They represent important milestones, deadlines, or durations associated with a particular card.
You can add four types of dates to your card:
Start Date – allows you to indicate a date to start your task.
Due Date – stands for the final term of completing a card.
Card Date – can be handy to appoint milestones in your project or any events which appear through completing work on a card.
Reminder – this date is only visible to the user who created it.
Adding dates to your cards allows you to place your tasks in time. You can set an exact time frame to complete work by creating a start date and due date on a card. With these features, you can control your workload.
Dates in cards are highlighted when using the following space views:
