Assign a due date and time to your tasks so nothing slips through — scheduled tasks automatically appear in your Task Calendar and My Planner, giving you a clear picture of what's coming up and when. Add a reminder on top and xTiles will notify you exactly when you need to act.
Set a Due Date and Time
When you create a task in a tile, a date box appears to the right of the task circle. This is where all your scheduling lives.
Click the date box to open the task settings panel — from here you can assign a due date, set a specific time, configure a reminder, and set a recurrence, all in one place.
💡 Tip: Use the single arrows to navigate month by month, or the double arrows to jump between years.
The date box changes color depending on urgency — green for today, yellow for tomorrow, and red for overdue tasks.
A few things to know:
A task can only have one due date, but can be rescheduled freely at any time.
All tasks without a due date appear in the Inbox section of your Task List.
Using My Planner? Tasks created across your projects appear automatically inside daily eXtra tiles matching their due date — giving you a full picture of your day in one place. Note: tasks created directly inside an eXtra tiles are automatically assigned that tile's date as their due date.
