How to set due dates and deadlines in Vaiz


Use due dates to keep work on schedule and make deadlines visible across tasks, subtasks, and milestones. Vaiz lets you set either a single due date or a start and end date, depending on how you plan your work.

Step 1. Set dates from a task

Open the task you want to update. Click the Dates field, select Due date, choose a date, and click Apply.

To schedule work over a period of time, switch to the Start → End tab, select the start and end dates, and click Apply.

Step 2. Set dates from the board

You can also set dates directly from the board without opening the task.

Hover over a task card and click the “+” icon. Select Set dates, then choose a due date or switch to Start → End, then click Apply.
