Report on tasks created and assigned as due on the same day

Hi all,

We’re having a lot of challenges with folks creating and assigning tasks to our team with a same-day due date.

  • Is there a way to crate a report that shows tasks created and assigned as due on the same day?

  • Is there a way to block users from doing this, and force due dates to be set a least a week or more out?

We’re trying to keep track of all of these last minute requests and right now we’re just pasting URLs into a word doc manually. There’s got to be a better way:). We also want to block users from doing this moving forward.

Thanks!

@Artemis_5,

For reporting, you can use Advanced Search (with a paid plan) like this:

but you will have to change the date daily.

For preventing, you can create a custom rule (Business/Enterprise plan) to trigger on new tasks in a project with due date approaching today to add a comment which the requester would see if a Collaborator that you’ve unset the date and why and ask them to set it to an appropriate date. But note that this rule will only fire once daily just after midnight. Perhaps flowsana.net (@Phil_Seeman) can improve on that, or Zapier.com.

Hope that helps,

Larry
