You can now track your tasks with numerical widgets in Flowlu. These let you see key task stats at a glance—no extra clicks needed.

You can either create custom widgets or use one of our presets:

• Tasks in Progress – How many tasks are currently being worked on.
• Total Overdue Tasks – Tasks that should’ve been done but aren’t.
• Tasks Completed This Month – Everything finished in the current month.
• Time Logged for Closed Tasks – Total hours spent on completed tasks.
• Closed Tasks Revenue – How much you’ve earned from finished tasks.

🔧 Make It Work for You

The best part? You can customize these widgets to show exactly what you need. Want to see only tasks assigned to a specific teammate? Done. Need a widget for overdue tasks in a particular project? Easy. Some other ideas:

🔹 Tasks in progress for a specific assignee or team
🔹 Overdue tasks grouped by project or client
🔹 Completed tasks within a certain date range
🔹 Logged time for tasks with a specific tag
🔹 Revenue from closed tasks in a particular pipeline

Set up your widgets and get the numbers you actually care about—without digging through reports.

No more dragging tasks around just to keep things aligned. Auto Scheduling in the Gantt chart takes care of dependencies for you—when a task moves, related tasks adjust automatically. 

🔧 How to Enable Auto Scheduling

You can turn Auto Scheduling on or off by navigating to:
Project → Gantt → ⚙️ (Settings) → Automation

When Auto Scheduling is OFF

• Task dependencies won’t affect schedules.
• You can freely move tasks without impacting others.

When Auto Scheduling is ON

• Dependencies will automatically adjust task dates.
• Tasks will shift based on changes to linked tasks.

✨ Key Features:

• Automatic Deadline Adjustments: When linking tasks, the next task will automatically align with the previous one.
• Lag/Delay Between Tasks: Add a delay between linked tasks by clicking on the dependency line. Lags can be set in hours or days and will be considered in future schedule adjustments. Task links with a delay will be highlighted in blue on the Gantt chart.
• Automatic Task Rescheduling: When moving a task with dependencies, the linked tasks will automatically adjust. Changing a task’s due date will shift dependent tasks accordingly.
• Fixed Start Dates for Linked Tasks: If Auto Scheduling is enabled, the start date of a dependent task cannot be manually changed. The start date will be calculated based on the due date of the preceding task and the assigned lag.

Try it out now in your Gantt chart settings and experience smarter scheduling!

Milestones have returned, and now they’re clearer and more powerful. Think of a milestone as a key moment in your project—a point where something important is completed.

We’ve upgraded the milestone details page to make tracking even easier. Now, milestones have the same statuses (stages) as tasks, plus some extra fields. More importantly, they now support dependencies, meaning you can prevent a milestone from being completed until certain tasks are finished.

✔️ How Milestones Work

Milestones aren’t just tasks with a different name—they serve a distinct purpose. Here’s what makes them different:

• Fixed Start & Due Date – A milestone marks a moment in time, so its start and due date are the same.

• No Subtasks – You can’t add tasks under a milestone, but you can convert a task into a milestone if it represents a key point in the project.

• Always Part of a Project – Every milestone belongs to a project. If you remove the link, the milestone automatically turns back into a regular task.

🛠️ How to Create a Milestone

You can set up milestones in several ways:

• From the Work Structure

• Using a Project Workflow

• On the Gantt Chart (where milestones appear as diamond shapes and can be linked to tasks)

• By converting a task or subtask into a milestone

👀 Easily Track Your Milestones

Want a quick way to see all your milestones? Use the Tasks widget on your dashboard, set the filter to Milestone, and you’ll have a complete overview in one place.

Now you can see the average opportunity value for a selected period right in your CRM widgets. This helps track trends, like how much customers are spending in a specific sales pipeline or under a specific team member.

We’ve also added a progress indicator to CRM widgets. It compares numbers from the selected period to the previous one, so you can quickly see if things are improving or not. This is handy for spotting changes, like how a coupon campaign affects your sales. 

Managing task sequences just got a whole lot easier! Previously, you could link tasks in the Gantt Chart to visualize their order. Now, dependencies are also displayed inside the task card, making it clearer how tasks connect.

🔗 Set Dependencies That Matter

You can now create multiple dependencies between tasks. One task can be linked to several others, giving you better control over your projects. Plus, dependency lines in the Gantt Chart are clickable—you can modify or remove them anytime.

⛔ Blocking: Prevent Premature Completion

Need to ensure tasks are completed in the right order? Enable the new blocking option. If a task is blocked, the next one cannot be marked as complete until the first one is finished.

✅ Example:

• Task A: "Prepare design mockups"
• Task B: "Get client approval" (Blocked until Task A is done!)
