Task statuses

Task statuses help you distinguish between work that is done, still to do, delayed, or set aside. Uku assigns statuses automatically based on dates and actions — you cannot set them manually.

• All team members can view and filter by task statuses.
• Statuses are system-generated and update automatically — they cannot be manually overridden.

Status	What it means
Active	The task is open and its deadline has not yet passed. This is the default state for all new tasks.
Done	The task has been marked done on or before its due date. (If it was marked done after the due date, it counts as Delayed.)
Delayed	The task was completed (marked done) after its due date had passed.
Overdue	The task is not yet done and its due date has passed. Overdue tasks stay in your Todo and active views and sort to the top of the Dashboard.
Later	The task has been explicitly parked in the Later tab. It is not deleted or archived — it reappears when the return date arrives.
Archived	The task has been archived and is hidden from active views. Use the Archive filter to find archived tasks.

1. Open the Dashboard.
2. Click the Filter icon in the filter bar.
3. Select the desired task status to filter the view.

You can also filter tasks by status in the Report and Calendar views using the same filter logic. Open the filter bar and add a Status filter.

The task was never marked done in Uku before its deadline passed. Open the task and click Mark done — its status then changes to Delayed (completed after the deadline).

Verify that the date range selected on the Dashboard includes tasks with the chosen status. Expand the date filter to a wider range.

Statuses are system-managed. To move a task to Done, mark it done. To clear an Overdue task, either complete it or update its deadline. To move a task to Later, use the row menu or right-click and select Later.
