The calendar helps you easily keep track of when tasks are due, highlight key deadlines, and see how busy each day and person is. You can also quickly shift tasks around during the month.
It's great for projects where timing is key, like 'Workouts', 'University Classes', or 'Blog Articles'. SAU shows this month's calendar, by default, but you can look at other months too. On the web portal SAU.app, you can even switch views to see a whole month, just a week, or a single day.
In the Calendar, tasks are sorted by days based on their deadlines. Inside each day's cell, tasks are arranged in the same order as they are in the List or Table. You can't change the order of tasks within a day, but you can move a task to a different day. Press and hold task panel to enable the drag-n-drop mode, then place the task on the new date.
The colored tag near the task name means the color of the task's column (from the 'Border' view).
Right now, you can't set specific times or durations for tasks or order them by the time they should be done during the day, but we're planning to add these features soon 💙
The task bar in most views displays icons that show whether the task has additional information or certain special properties:
    There are links or files attached to the task. If you hover the cursor over this icon, the number of attachments will be displayed. If you click this icon, the task card will open on the attachments tab.
    There is a checklist in the task. If you hover the cursor over this icon, the number of items in the checklist will be displayed. If you click this icon, the task card will be opened on the checklist tab.
    The task has a description. If you click this icon, the task card will be opened on the description tab.
    The task is recurring. If you tick such a task in the view as completed, it will be considered as completed only for today.
    There is a chat in the task. The red dot next to this icon means that there are new unread messages.
    There is a chat in the task, but notifications are disabled.
Each task in SAU has a specific indicator that allows you to quickly see the status of the task. The indicators take into account the deadline and the completion of the task. If the deadline for a task is today, the task is not considered overdue. If a future task is completed, it will be highlighted in green and will be considered completed. All indicators are updated on the fly and always show the actual information.
the task is marked as completed.
the task is marked as completed, but the deadline has not yet arrived.
the task is overdue: the due date has arrived, but the task is still not marked as completed.
Tasks that are displayed as red blocks on dashboards or highlighted in red in other views require attention and completion.
In every view, the field for selecting the task's due date and the task's checkbox are highlighted in a certain color: grey, red or green. This color corresponds to the task indicators and shows its current status. Of course, you should pay attention to all tasks marked in red, because they have not been completed on time.
A task can be completed with a single click in any view. All you have to do is click on the circle to the left of the task and it will be marked as complete!
The task's completion status can be reversed with a single click. Find a completed task in any view — in a ToDo list, on the Dashboard, through search, etc. Then just click on the check mark to the left of the task and it will become active again!
Completing a recurring task is no different from completing normal tasks — you can quickly do it in any view (not just in the tracker) or in the lists on your personal dashboard. To mark its completion, click on the circle to the left of the task and it will be marked as complete for the day!
You can pick an assignee in two clicks. In any view, you can quickly change the assignee of a task. All you have to do is click on the circle to the right of the task (there may be a user photo there) and select an assignee.
In the 'Calendar' view, you can set a due date for a task in one of three ways:
  • drag the task from one calendar cell to another
  • drag a task without a due date to any calendar cell
  • create a task directly in the cell - just hover over a date cell, the 'Add' button will appear inside the cell, click it and create task as usual
By default, the calendar opens in a current month, but you can also view it in a single week or a single day. There’s also a minimalistic view that displays tasks in a single line.
  1. Open the project panel and select a project
  2. Choose the 'Calendar' view. On the left, you'll find 4 buttons to switch views:
    for the month view (default)
    for the week view
    for the day view
    to toggle the task panel between full panel (with all icons and functions) and minimalist panel (1 line with a checkmark, name, and column color)
Easy navigation by the 'Calendar' view is based on the toolbar with buttons:
to go to the same month (week, day) last year
to go to the previous month (week, day)
Today to return to the current month, week, or today
to go to the next month (week, day)
to go to the same month (week, day) next year
The 'Calendar' view shows only tasks with due dates; tasks without due dates are shown in a separate list. To view them and work with them in the 'Calendar' view:
  1. Open the project panel and select a project
  2. Choose the 'Calendar' view
  3. Click the button Tasks without a due date above the calendar on the right
  4. To set a due date, click on a task and drag it to the dated cell on the calendar
You can filter the project's tasks by status, due date, and assignee. Filters inside the view allow you to work with only the tasks you need. We have kept the most popular filters:
  • All — shows all tasks in the project
  • Active (only grey tasks remain — tasks without a date or with a due date today or later)
  • Done (only green tasks remain — all tasks with a checkmark)
  • Overdue (only red tasks remain — all uncompleted tasks past their due date)
  • Without Deadline
  • Today (all tasks due today)
  • Next 7 Days (all tasks due within the next 7 days)
  • My Tasks (tasks where you are the assignee)
  • Not My Tasks (tasks with no assignee or an assignee who is not you)
After applying a filter, you cannot move tasks in the list. To change the order, select the 'All' filter.
  1. Open the project panel and select a project
  2. Open the project and click Filter placed on the right under the task creation panel
  3. Choose one filter from the dropdown menu to leave only appropriate tasks
  4. To cancel the filtration, click 'By default'
If done tasks are hidden, they won't appear in the filter results. To enable search through the done tasks, make them visible using the appropriate button at the end of the task list.
To find a task inside the projects (any view) use the search button in the right corner near the project name.
  1. Open the project panel and select a project
  2. Open the project and click the search button to the right under the task creation panel
  3. In the search field that appears, type part of the task name – only tasks matching your search will be displayed on the screen
  4. To show all tasks again, click 'Cancel'
If done tasks are hidden, they won't appear in the search results. To enable search through the done tasks, make them visible using the appropriate button at the end of the task list.
Important! You can't change the order of tasks in the search results. To rearrange tasks, first, cancel the search.
