Next steps & due dates

Every job in Trackur can carry a checklist of next steps — small to-dos like "Follow up with recruiter" — each with an optional due date. Due steps surface across the app so nothing slips through.

Adding next steps

Open a job in the Edit panel and find the Next Steps section. Type into the field labeled "Add a task, reminder, or to-do", then press Enter or click Add. To give a step a due date, click the calendar icon next to the field — it toggles a date picker, and the icon turns violet when a date is set.

In the Edit panel you can check and uncheck steps, edit their text, remove them, and see a counter that reads "done/total done" (for example, "2/5 done").

You can also give a job its first step while creating it: the Add Job panel has a Next Step field and a Due Date field that together become the new job's first to-do. See Adding your first job.

Steps follow two limits:

• 10 steps per job. At the limit, the add row disappears and the counter appends "(limit reached)". Remove or complete-and-remove a step to add another.
• 150 characters per step. The message "Max 150 characters." appears when you hit it.

Steps keep a fixed order: open steps are listed oldest first, and completed steps sink to the bottom with the most recently completed at the top of the completed group.

How steps appear on cards and in the table

On the board, a job with no steps shows an "Add next steps..." prompt on its card — clicking it opens the Edit panel. Once a job has steps, the card shows a highlighted box listing up to three open steps, each with a circle you can tap to complete it and a date chip if the step has a due date. Below those, the box shows "+N more" if there are additional open steps, a "N done" count for completed steps, or "All steps done" with a green check when everything is finished.

In Table view, the Next Step column shows each job's oldest open step alongside its done count, or "All done" when every step is complete. You can sort by this column.

The amber "due" pill

When at least one active job has an open step due today or earlier, an amber pill appears in the toolbar next to the search box, showing a clock icon and a count like "3 due". It works two ways:

• Indicator — the count tells you how many jobs have steps that need attention. The pill disappears entirely when nothing is due.
• Filter — click the pill to narrow the board or table to only those jobs; click it again to show all jobs. The tooltips read "Show only jobs with steps due" and "Show all jobs".

Archived jobs never count toward the pill — see Archiving & deleting. The pill appears on mobile too, in the same toolbar spot; see Trackur on mobile.

Due today vs. overdue

Trackur draws a line between the two:

So a step due today makes its job show up in the "due" pill count, but its date chip stays the normal color until the day has passed.
