Adjusting task deadlines to match your work week

Section titled “Adjusting task deadlines to match your work week”

Tallyfy can shift most deadlines so they don’t land on non-working days or outside business hours. An Administrator configures this once, and it applies organization-wide.

Configuring working days and hours

Section titled “Configuring working days and hours”

  1. Go to Settings > Organization > Customization.

  2. Under Default work week, select your work week length - 7-day, 6-day (Mon-Sat), 5-day (Mon-Fri), or 4-day (Mon-Thu).

  3. Under Default Working Hours, toggle each day between All hours (any time counts) or Fixed hours (set a start and end time with the slider).

  4. Click Save Changes. Tallyfy uses these settings from then on, in the places listed below.

Where the work week applies, and where it doesn’t

Section titled “Where the work week applies, and where it doesn’t”

This is worth reading, because a deadline that ignores your work week usually looks like a bug rather than a boundary.

How the deadline got its dateWork week applied
Worked out when the task was created, at launch or laterYes
Changed by hand on a running taskYes
Moved because the step it counts from was completed or editedYes
Set by an automation’s deadline actionNo

An automation that says “3 days before the event date” does exactly that arithmetic and leaves the answer alone, so it can land on a Sunday in a Monday to Friday organization. Allow for it when you choose the gap.

Setting an exact date by hand is adjusted, which surprises people in the other direction. Pick 6pm on a day whose working hours end at 5pm and the deadline moves to the next working morning rather than staying at 6pm.

What’s not supported yet

Section titled “What’s not supported yet”

Tallyfy’s deadline calculations use the work week pattern you configure - but they don’t account for:

  • Country-specific holidays (e.g., Labor Day, Boxing Day)
  • Organization-specific holidays (e.g., company closure days, annual shutdown)
  • Person-specific unavailability (e.g., vacation days, sick leave)
