Due dates and priorities
Set a task's priority, due/start/end dates, an estimate, and free-text tags to keep work organized and scheduled.
Tasks carry scheduling and organization fields — a priority, a few dates, an estimate, and tags. You set them in the task form or drawer.
- Role
- OwnerAdminManagerMember
Editing these fields is open to the manage tier or the assigned Member.
Where to find it
Open a task (click it for the drawer, or open its edit page) and set the fields below.
Priority
Pick one of three priorities:
- Low
- Medium (default)
- High
Dates
All dates are optional and date-only:
- Due date
- Start date
- End date
The start date must be on or before the end date — Hoursmith enforces this.
Estimate
Add an Estimate in hours to capture how long you expect the task to take.
Tags
Add free-text tags as chips to group and filter tasks. The maximum is 20 tags per task.
Set them
Open the task
Click the task for its drawer, or open its edit page.
