Overview

All users (except collaborators) on all account types can create backlogged tasks.

Backlogged tasks are tasks that don't have scheduled start and end dates.

New tasks are created as backlogged by default and remain that way unless you add start and end dates to the task or convert it to a milestone.

Note

Backlogged tasks aren't visible on the timeline portion of Gantt Chart (because they don't have scheduled start and end dates).

Convert a scheduled task into a backlogged task

  1. Open the Task 1 you'd like to convert to backlogged.

  2. Click the Date 2 section located next to the assignee section.

  3. Click Clear dates 3 at the bottom of the date picker.

  4. Сlick Save 4.
