# Due Date

**Due Date** is only available in the PRO version.  
Unlock this and other features by upgrading to **Joomill Admin Checklist PRO**  
  
[Go PRO](https://www.joomill-extensions.com/subscribe/order/product/admin-checklist-pro)

 If you want tasks to change color as their due date approaches or passes, download and install the **Checklist - Due Date** plugin like any other plugin. The plugin is activated automatically upon installation.

 
## How does it work:

 Once active, any task with a due date set gets an automatic status:

 
- **On time:** no extra styling.
- **Warning:** the task is within 30 days of its due date.
- **Danger:** the task is within 7 days of its due date, or the due date has already passed.

 These thresholds currently use fixed defaults (30 and 7 days) and can't be changed from the Joomla backend yet.

 To set a due date on a task, go to the task edit screen and fill in the **Due Date** field on the right-hand side.
