Setting Deadlines in Monday.com

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to set deadlines within Monday.com to stay on top of tasks. The video covers toggling deadline mode for date or timeline columns, linking deadlines with status and people columns, setting up due date reminders using automations, and visualizing task progress with symbols.

Toggling Deadline Mode

• To toggle on deadline mode for the date or timeline columns, click on the column menu and select "set as deadline".

• Link deadlines with a status and a people column so someone is assigned to a given deadline.

• This becomes valuable when working with multiple boards; team members can access their "my work" section and see all deadlines assigned to them across the Monday account.

Setting Up Due Date Reminders

• Use automations to schedule notifications for when deadlines are approaching.

• Set up reminder notifications when deadlines are two days away.

• When selecting a date, click on the add time button and then choose when the deadline will end. The time will determine when a task is considered overdue.

Visualizing Task Progress

• Deadline mode visualizes where tasks are at with symbols.

• You can see if items are due today, soon, they're overdue or finished on time.

• For timeline column set with deadline mode, the bar fills up as you approach the end date.

• Once a task status is toggled to done, the bar will show a check mark and will be completely green.
