How can I adjust task deadlines to match our work week?
Tallyfy® administrators can configure organization-wide working days and hours to ensure realistic task scheduling aligned with actual business operations.
Tallyfy® leverages these configurations to automatically adjust task deadlines, preventing deadline assignments during non-working periods including weekends or outside designated business hours. This scheduling ensures feasible deadline expectations across all organizational workflows.
What steps configure working days and hours in Tallyfy?
Go to Settings.
Click Organization, then Customization.
Find the Default work week section. Check the boxes for your organization’s standard work days (e.g., Monday to Friday).
Find the Default working hours section. Set the typical start and end times for your workday.
Scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes. Tallyfy will now use these settings when calculating relative deadlines.
Why set working days and hours?
Realistic deadlines: Helps ensure tasks aren’t due when people aren’t typically working.
Better planning: Helps schedule workflows based on actual work time.
Consistency: Uses the same work schedule rules across your organization.
These settings are set once by an Administrator and apply to the entire organization.
What deadline features does Tallyfy currently not support?
Tallyfy uses calendar days for all deadline calculations. While you can configure which days of the week are work days, Tallyfy does not currently support:
Country-specific holidays (e.g., Labor Day in the US, Boxing Day in the UK)
Organization-specific holidays (e.g., company closure days, annual shutdown periods)
Person-specific unavailability (e.g., individual vacation days, sick leave, personal time off)
All deadline calculations use the simple work week pattern you configure, without accounting for these exceptions.
Tallyfy administrators can customize organization-wide settings including member permissions content creation task management onboarding workflows working hours notifications and webhook configurations to control how the platform operates for all users.
Deadline actions allow automatic adjustment of task due dates based on specific conditions through shifting deadlines adding time intervals or linking deadlines between different process steps.
Tallyfy settings are organized into Personal Settings that affect individual user experience and Organization Settings that impact the entire organization with only administrators able to modify organization-wide configurations.
Tallyfy allows users to customize email notification settings through their profile to control workflow communication frequency and prevent email overload while ensuring mandatory weekly digest reminders for task tracking.
