Due date
Tick provides an exclusive field for each task, presented by a calendar icon on the right end of each task. When clicked, a DatePicker appears, helping users to select a specific date for when they expect the task to be completed.
This visual aid allows users to see if a due date has been selected for a task. When a due date is chosen, it is both color-coded and shown relative to the current date, providing a clear and intuitive visual indicator. This enhances the user experience by making it easy to manage project deadlines and ensuring that tasks are completed on time.
Viewing the exact Date
In addition to seeing the relative date, users can view the exact due date of a task. By hovering the mouse over the due date for a few moments, the exact date will appear in a tooltip.
Color codes
As mentioned earlier in this document, the due dates are color-coded to help users understand them better and enhance the user experience. Below is a guide to understanding the meaning of all these color codes.
Yellow
Yellow indicates the due date is within two days or less, showing a short time remaining until the task is due and the task is not finished yet.
Blue
Blue indicates that the due date is more than two days away, suggesting there is still ample time remaining to complete the task and the task is not finished yet.
Red
Red indicates the due date has already passed, highlighting that the task is overdue and might be a concern if it remains unfinished.
Green
Green indicates the task is finished. The green color does not relate to the current time; it simply conveys that the task has been completed.
Unsetting the Due Date
To unset an already set due date for a task, click on the due date. When the DatePicker pops up, you will see a bin icon at the bottom left corner. By clicking this bin icon, you will unset the due date for the selected task.
