Deadlines can make or break a project. Without proper tracking, tasks get delayed, projects pile up, and things fall through the cracks. That’s why Jugl’s Task Module makes it easy to set due dates, track overdue tasks, and automate recurring work so nothing gets forgotten. 🚀
📅 Setting Due Dates & Tracking Deadlines
A due date is more than just a deadline—it keeps your team aligned and ensures everyone knows when a task needs to be completed.
Why Set a Due Date?
📌 Keeps projects on schedule – Ensures timely delivery.
📌 Prioritizes workload – Teams know what to tackle first.
📌 Avoids last-minute stress – No more scrambling to meet deadlines.
How to Add a Due Date to a Task
1️⃣ Open an existing task or create a new one.
2️⃣ Find the "Due Date" field and select a date from the calendar.
3️⃣ Save, and the deadline will appear on the task card.
📢 Example Use Case:
A content manager sets a due date of Friday for a blog draft to ensure the design team has enough time to create visuals before publishing.
🚨 Tracking Overdue Tasks
When a task isn’t completed by its due date, it becomes overdue. Jugl helps you spot overdue tasks instantly so you can take action.
How to Identify Overdue Tasks
⚠️ Tasks past their due date will appear with a red warning in the Task Board.
📊 Use filters to view all overdue tasks in one place.
🔔 Enable notifications so team members get alerts when a task is overdue.
📢 Example Use Case:
A project manager notices a design task is overdue, so they follow up with the assigned team member to see if they need extra support.
🔁 Creating Recurring Tasks for Repetitive Workflows
Some tasks don’t just happen once—they repeat weekly, monthly, or even daily. Instead of manually recreating them every time, set them as recurring tasks in Jugl!
Why Use Recurring Tasks?
🔄 Saves time – No need to create the same task repeatedly.
📆 Ensures consistency – Automates reminders for routine work.
🎯 Reduces errors – Nothing gets forgotten.
How to Set a Task as Recurring
1️⃣ Create a new task or open an existing one.
2️⃣ Find the "Recurring Task" option.
3️⃣ Choose how often it repeats (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Custom).
4️⃣ Save, and Jugl will automatically recreate the task at the set interval.
📢 Example Use Case:
A finance team sets a monthly recurring task for payroll processing so the reminder is always scheduled in advance.
📌 Automating Follow-Ups to Keep Projects Moving
Even with deadlines and recurring tasks, some work still needs a nudge to stay on
track. That’s where automated follow-ups come in.
Ways to Automate Follow-Ups in Jugl
🔔 Use task notifications – Get alerts for approaching and overdue deadlines.
👤 Assign multiple team members – Ensure accountability if one person is unavailable.
📊 Review the Task Board regularly – Use filters to check pending and overdue work.
📢 Example Use Case:
A marketing director sets weekly reminders to review campaign performance so they never forget to check key metrics.
