How to postpone tasks
TL;DR: You can reschedule tasks in Uku by dragging them in the Calendar view, editing dates in the task detail view, or using bulk actions to postpone multiple tasks at once.
Who can do this
Any team member who has access to the tasks they want to reschedule
Bulk actions are available to all members with task access on the Dashboard
Why postpone tasks?
The start or end time set when creating a task may not always match reality. Postponing tasks keeps your Dashboard clean and your schedule accurate.
You can postpone tasks in three ways:
Option 1: Calendar view
Select Calendar from the main menu.
Locate the task you want to reschedule. Tasks are displayed by their start date.
Drag the task to the new day you want it to continue on. A dotted-line placeholder shows where the task will land.
If you drag the task past its due date, Uku will prompt you to confirm whether you want to move the due date as well.
Option 2: Task detail view
Open the task you want to postpone.
Click the Start date field and select a new start date from the date picker.
Click the End date field and select a new end date.
Save the change.
Option 3: Bulk action
On the Dashboard, click the multi-select icon (two-tick icon) in the task list header.
Tick the checkboxes next to the tasks you want to postpone.
Click the calendar icon in the action bar that appears.
In the drop-down menu, choose the new date.
Save the change.
Tip: If you frequently change a task's due date, consider adjusting it in the client's task plan or template instead. Read more about how to change a client's work plan and task template.
Troubleshooting
Task does not move when dragged in Calendar view — Ensure you are clicking and holding the task card before dragging. If the calendar is in a read-only mode or you lack permissions for that task, dragging will not work.
Due date did not update after dragging past the original deadline — Uku shows a confirmation prompt when you drag a task beyond its due date. If you dismissed the prompt, the due date remains unchanged. Repeat the drag and confirm the date change.
Bulk action icons are not visible — Make sure you are on the Dashboard view. Bulk actions are not available in all views. Refresh the page if the icons do not appear.
Changes were not saved — After editing dates in the task detail view, make sure you click Save. Navigating away without saving will discard your changes.
