Set the start date1, duration 2 and due date 3 for your task. You can estimate task duration in hours to build a more precise schedule.

Examples of valid input in the duration field: "2h 30 m,", "5d,", "3h,", "15m.". You can enter "2h 30 m," or simply "1d,", "1h," or "30m" when planning task's duration. In other words, you can use the following format to set tasks' duration: "3d 4h 5m," entering the correct number of days, hours and minutes or removing unnecessary parameters.

If you enter a fractional number of days, like "0.5d" Wrike will turn it into "4h" to represent half of the working day. If you enter a fractional number of hours or minutes, Wrike will round it to the nearest whole number.

If you set only the due date, the task is displayed as a milestone on a Timeline and in the dashboard.

If you do not set any date, the task is not shown on the Timeline and you don't receive the email reminders about the task. This allows you to keep notes and non-actionable items in Wrike.
