Task Duration & Resizing

Adjust how long tasks take by resizing them on the timeline.

Resizing Tasks​

  1. Hover over the bottom edge of a scheduled task
  2. A resize handle appears
  3. Drag down to increase duration
  4. Drag up to decrease duration

Duration snaps to 15-minute increments.

Duration Preview​

While resizing:

  • A tooltip shows the new duration
  • The task preview updates in real-time
  • The tooltip turns amber and names what the task would run into

Overlaps​

A task can run into a meeting or another task — Cadeo keeps the length you dragged to and tells you:

  • While dragging, the tooltip reads, say, 1h30m · overlaps Team standup
  • Afterwards the two sit side by side, the task has an amber Overlaps Team standup tag, and the Undo snackbar says so
  • Undo, or drag it shorter, to take it back

Setting Duration in Modal​

You can also set duration in the task details:

  1. Click the task to open details
  2. Find the Duration field
  3. Select from presets or enter custom time

Default Duration​

New scheduled tasks default to 60 minutes. You can change this in Settings.
