Task settings

Task settings let you control how tasks behave across your company — including which templates members can see, how time estimates are handled, checklist enforcement, and whether members can edit time entries.

• Company Owners and Company Admins can access and change task settings.

1. Select Settings & Apps from the main navigation.
2. Click the Company app.
3. Select Settings and open the Tasks section.

Hide Uku’s built-in task templates so members can only select from your company’s own templates. This prevents accidentally applying the wrong template to a client. The setting lives on the Company app — see Company settings guide.

When a member marks a task as done without logging time, Uku automatically uses the task’s time estimate as the recorded time. Useful for ensuring time reports reflect work even when tracking is forgotten.

When enabled, all checklist items on a task must be checked before the task can be marked as done. This is useful for tasks with mandatory compliance steps.

Allows all members to add time entries for future dates — for example, to log planned vacation or leave in advance.

Shows tasks that are still hidden behind an unfinished prerequisite in the Calendar view, so dependent work is visible on the schedule before it becomes active. See Using task dependencies.

Limits each member to seeing their own time entries on a task, hiding colleagues’ logged time.

Locks time entries for all regular members on a weekly or monthly basis. Company Owners and Company Admins can still modify locked entries, but regular members cannot.

Verify the lock setting is active and that the user’s role is Company Member (not Company Admin or Company Owner). Admins and Owners are not subject to the lock.

Ask members to refresh their browser or log out and back in for the change to take effect.

Confirm that the Checklist must be completed to finish the task setting is toggled on in your company settings. If it was just enabled, it applies to tasks going forward.
