Setting Deadlines and Priorities

2.2 Setting Deadlines and Priorities

Deadlines and priorities are central to structured teamwork in ACTIONBRIDGE. All tasks must have a due date, and any changes to key fields — including deadlines or priorities — are logged with time, user, and reason, promoting transparency and shared accountability.

Setting a Due Date (Required)

• When creating a task, you must set a Due Date using the calendar picker.
• You can specify a start and end date, or use the same date for one-day tasks.
• Tasks will be visually marked based on how close they are to their due dates (e.g., upcoming, overdue).

Changing a Due Date

• To change the due date, open the task and select a new date.
• Before saving, you’ll be prompted to enter a reason for the change.
• The change is recorded in the task's activity log, including who made the update and when.
• This ensures all stakeholders understand the context of the adjustment.

Setting Task Priority

• Select from four priority levels: Low, Medium, High, or Critical.
• Priorities help the team triage work and respond to what's most urgent.
• Like deadlines, any priority changes require a reason and are logged for the team to review.

Tips

• Use priority + deadline together to organize sprint goals, release cycles, or incident response tasks.
• View and filter tasks by priority level in both board and list views.
• In Gantt view, deadlines are visually aligned and easy to track across projects.

With mandatory due dates and transparent change tracking, ACTIONBRIDGE enables responsible, team-aware task management — ideal for high-trust, high-accountability environments.
