Dashboards widget: Start date overdue

Hey everyone,

I would suggest to add a start date option that defines "Today + or - X days" to show tasks in the dashboard with a specific status (i.e. new assgined), a defined start date and a defined duration time.

That would give the user the opportunity to show i.e. planned tasks that should have been started by a pre-defined start date but have not. (start = change of workflow status)

Right now there is only the possibilty to use the time frame option, which the user in that case would have to change every day manually to show those overdue start date tasks from i.e. the day before on, which is not very intuitive in my opinion.

Maybe this is something some of you are also missing.

I would appreciate that modification a lot.🙂

Hi Tobias, thank you for this suggestion 🙂 I'm not sure that I understood you correctly, so please let me know: for example, today is April, 25 (it actually is!), we're creating a task that needs to start on April, 27 and the option will be "April, 25 + 2 days"? Again, sorry if I misunderstood!

Hi Lisa,

I can imagine that it could be difficult to understand what I tried to explain.

What do I want to display in my dashboard?

As a product manager I allocate many tasks to other colleagues and I am responsible to organize many projects at the same time.
When it comes to product launches and i.e. a needed marketing package (which gets the workflow "new assigned", has a defined start date and an average duration of 40 days), it is important for me to know about those which have not "started" on time (start = change of workflow status).

Furthermore I do not want to show the marketing packages with start dates in the future at the same time/in the same widget.

It has happened that I allocated tasks that should have started by someone else, which aren't overdue yet but have not started. The consequence of that was a delayed market entry date.

I think what I am looking for is something like an overdue alert/overview widget for the start date.
That would mean i.e. an option like "everything from yesterday on" - which automatically takes "today" as reference and is not like the time frame option dependent on manual changes.

I hope that what I am trying to explain is comprehensible ..

@Tobias S�hnchen @Elizaveta Bogdanova know this is an old thread, but I just created a post that may be relevant here: /hc/en-us/community/posts/22729887561751-Dashboard-Overdue-To-Start-Widget-Solution

@Jake Yohn Thanks so much 💚

Last week we had a session with the wrike team and I posed this feedback as well.
In dashboards, you can select "overdue" for due dates.
But there is no "overdue" for start dates available.

So all I can do at this point is create a widget where Start Date = last week and status is "not started". But that leaves anything that had a start date of yesterday, day before, etc. left out.

We need a way to track tasks that should have started, but didn't according to the status.

Hey @Sarah Tanzillo 👋 thanks for posting your detailed feedback again. I'll forward your comment to the appropriate Product Team. If there are any updates in the coming months, I'll be sure to let you know. 👍

Hey @Sarah Tanzillo

I am new here, only about a month in. So, this may be something you're aware of at this point or may not directly address what you're asking: but there is an option within the dashboard to select a date range for the created date. I believe this would address your issue? Let me know if I am misunderstanding though!
