Creating and Tracking Deadlines

Track event deliverables with owners, due dates, priorities, and status — per event or across all events.

Last updated

Deadlines track the work that must happen before show day: approving proofs, sending rooming lists, collecting slides. Each deadline has an owner, a due date, and a status.

Add a deadline

  1. Open the event and select the Deadlines tab.
  2. Select Add deadline.
  3. Enter a Title (required) and optionally a Due date.
  4. Choose an Owner — a workspace team member, or type a person, team, or vendor name.
  5. Set Priority, Module (for example General, Registration, Speakers, Venue), Status, and Notes.
  6. Save.

Statuses

Choose Not started, In progress, Waiting, or Complete.

The Overdue view is based on the due date: an unfinished deadline dated before today appears overdue, even if its saved status is In progress or Waiting. Completed deadlines are excluded. You don't need to change its status to Overdue; marking it Complete removes it from that view.

To change status quickly, use the status menu on the deadline's row. For other changes, use Edit.

Find what matters

Use the filter menu — All, Mine, Upcoming, Overdue, Due This Week, Complete, High Priority — and Search deadlines.

The workspace-level Deadlines page (in the main navigation) shows deliverables across every event, with an event filter and Open in event.

Working with Logistics

Deadlines can be linked from Logistics items. A deadline shows the Logistics items linked to it, and the item shows the deadline's live owner, due date, and status. Completing a deadline doesn't change the item's fulfillment status. See Managing Logistics and Event Deliverables.

Staying current

The list refreshes automatically about every 20 seconds, and pauses while you're editing. If someone else saved the same deadline after you opened it, CueKit won't overwrite their change — reload and try again.

Who can do what

  • Owner, Admin, and Planner add and edit deadlines and change status.
  • Owner and Admin can delete deadlines.
  • Production and Viewer can view them.
  • Archived events are read-only.

Example

For Harbor Summit, "Send final rooming list to hotel" is owned by the registration lead, due two weeks out, High priority, in the Venue module.
