Planned Dates, Due Dates & Reminders on Cards

Plan work windows and stay ahead of deadlines by setting Planned Dates on a card, including a Start Date, Due Date, and optional Reminder.

Set Planned Dates (Start & Due)

Open the card and go to the Dates section.
Open Planned Dates dropdown to display the calendar.
On the calendar:
- Click the first date to set the Start Date.
- Click the second date to set the Due Date.
Prefer typing? Below the calendar, you can type or edit the Start Date and Due Date directly in their fields.
To remove either date, uncheck the box to the left of that date field (Unset Start or Unset Due).

Due Time: Next to the Due Date field, choose a time for the due date.
Time Zone: The country time zone displays below the time. If it’s incorrect, click the pencil icon to update it.
Reminder (optional): Choose when to be reminded — from 5 minutes before up to 1 week before. Reminders notify all card members (owner + watchers).

Your selected dates are shown in the Planned Dates box within the Dates section.
If a reminder is set, a red bell appears in the date box.
To edit or remove dates/reminder, simply click the Planned Dates box again.

When the due date has passed, the Dates section header turns red.
The due date text inside the box and the dates at the bottom also display in red until updated or completed.
Behind Schedule: Planned End date shows in red if the date is in the past and the card has not yet entered a green Done column.
Late Start: Actual Start date shows in red if it is later than the Planned Start date.
Late Finish: Actual End date shows in red if it is later than the Planned End date.

Actual Dates are system‑generated to help track what truly happened to cards in Kanban Zone.
Actual Start date: Recorded when a card first enters a yellow WIP column.
Actual End date: Recorded when a card first enters a green Done column.
