Tasks Without a Due Date

Tasks without a due date don’t have a day on the calendar. LinCal collects them in a bar at the bottom of the screen, so you can still find them and give them a date.

​

Open and close the bar

The bar is always visible at the bottom of the calendar. It shows Tasks without a due date and the number of tasks.

• Click the bar to expand it and see the task cards.
• Click it again to collapse it.

The number shows 100+ when there are more tasks than LinCal loads. See What the bar shows.

​

Schedule a task

Drag a task card from the bar onto a day in the calendar. The task gets that day as its due date. See Drag and Drop for more. You can also click a card to open it and edit its properties, the same way as any other task card.

​

Remove a due date

While you drag a task card, two drop zones appear in the bar. Drop the card on Drop to remove due date to move it into the bar. You don’t need to expand the bar first.

​

What the bar shows

• Up to 100 tasks without a due date, most recently updated first.
• Only tasks updated in the last 2 months.
• Only tasks that match your filters. If the bar is empty, check your filters.
• The usual Display Options apply, including Show completed, Show sub-tasks and Ordering.

For how LinCal decides which tasks to load, see Task Loading and Visibility.

​

Search the bar

You can search the tasks in the bar by title.

1. Click the magnifier icon, or expand the bar.
2. Type in the Search tasks… box. LinCal filters the tasks that are already loaded.
3. Press Esc to clear the search. Press Esc again to close the bar.

​

Search entire workspace

If the task you want isn’t in the list, type at least two characters and click Search entire workspace. You can also press Enter.

• It searches task titles beyond the loaded list, including tasks not updated in the last 2 months.
• It follows your current filters.
• It shows up to 100 results.
• It isn’t available while a Linear view is selected.

If nothing matches, the bar says No matching tasks.
