How to change the order of tasks on the dashboard?

Uku lets you set a custom task order using the Calendar view. After rearranging tasks there, the new order is reflected on your Dashboard when you refresh the page.

Quick answer

Open the Calendar view, drag tasks to the desired positions, then refresh the page to see the updated order on your Dashboard. Note: delayed (overdue) tasks always appear first on the Dashboard, regardless of custom order.

Who can do this

• Any team member who has tasks assigned on their dashboard.

Reorder tasks using the Calendar

1. Open the Calendar view by selecting it from the main navigation, or by clicking the date shown next to the calendar icon on the Dashboard.
2. Locate the tasks you want to reorder.
3. Drag a task to the desired position. A dotted-line placeholder indicates where the task will be placed.
4. Release the task to drop it into the new position.
5. Repeat for any other tasks you want to reorder.
6. Refresh the page to see the updated order on the Dashboard.

Caution

Delayed (overdue) tasks always appear first on the Dashboard, regardless of your custom order. You cannot reorder delayed tasks below non-delayed ones.

Troubleshooting

Task order on the Dashboard did not change

Make sure to refresh the page after rearranging tasks in the Calendar view. The Dashboard reflects the new order only after a page refresh.

Cannot drag tasks in the Calendar

Ensure you are clicking and holding on the task item itself. If drag-and-drop is unresponsive, try using a different browser or clearing your browser cache.

Delayed tasks keep appearing first

This is expected behavior. Overdue tasks are always prioritized and displayed first on the Dashboard. Complete or reschedule the delayed tasks to move them out of the priority position.
