Every deadline now says how many days are left

Instead of a bare date, each task's deadline now reads "5 days left", "Due today" or "3 days overdue".

What changed

A date like "15 October" on its own does not say how close the work is. Wherever a task's deadline is shown there is now a small badge beside it that says it plainly: "5 days left", "1 day left", "Due today" or "3 days overdue". A task with a time counts in hours and minutes as it gets close, for example "13 hours left".

The time-left badge on board cards

How to use it

Nothing to switch on. The badge appears on its own:

  1. On project board cards and in a task's details
  2. On My work and the work desk
  3. In a customer file's history
  4. On milestones

Time left on My work

Good to know

  • The colour helps too: blue means there is still time, amber means due today, red means past the deadline.
  • A finished task carries no badge.
  • Days are counted by the same rule the lists use, so a task "Due today" is never in the overdue list.
