Workly helps you stay on top of deadlines with overdue task reminders. When a task passes its due date, assignees are notified so nothing falls through the cracks.
How overdue reminders work
When a task’s due date passes without the task being completed:
- The assignee receives a notification
- The task is visually marked as overdue with a red indicator
- The due date appears in red across all views
Finding overdue tasks
You can find overdue tasks in several ways:
- Dashboard — The dashboard shows overdue task counts
- Filter by due date — Use task filters to show only overdue tasks
- Calendar view — Overdue tasks are highlighted
- Notifications — Check your notification bell for overdue alerts
Overdue indicators
Across all project views (List, Board, Calendar), overdue tasks show:
- A red due date label
- A visual indicator that the task is past its deadline
Resolving overdue tasks
To clear an overdue status, you can:
- Complete the task — Mark it as done
- Update the due date — Extend the deadline
- Remove the due date — Clear the deadline entirely
