Owners and due dates
Nexa only sets an owner or a date the source states — the rest is yours to decide.
Last updated Nov 12, 2026
What it is
Each work item can have an owner (the person responsible) and a due date.
What it's for
You can see at a glance what each person owes and what is late.
How to use it
- Items with no confirmed owner show in Start here on the Dashboard — click Assign owners.
- Pick the owner from your team list.
- Set or correct the due date on the item.
- On a commitment you hold, open its ⋯ menu and choose Say where it stands: Done, Still on it (with the day you now expect it) or Blocked (with what it is waiting on). Your answer is recorded as yours, with the time; the promised due date stays unless you change it. Every Sunday Nexa asks once if any of yours are past their date with no word.
- Switch Commitments to Board to see To do, In progress, Blocked and Done as columns. Drag a card, or use its ⋯ → Move to. Moving a card into Blocked asks what it is waiting on and is saved as the holder's word; done work reopens as To do. A move is the same change as on the list, so a linked Jira, Trello or Linear issue moves too.
- Narrow the list or the board by Priority or Customer, and sort by due date, priority, newest or recently updated.
- Open a task to write Comments. Anyone who can see the task can comment; only the author edits. On a task linked to Jira, Trello or Linear, comments sync both ways, and the issue's files and checklist show read-only beside it.
Tips
- Use the owner filter in Work to review one person's list before a 1:1.
Good to know
- Nexa never invents a date. "Next week" is read from the meeting date, and an unclear date is left empty.
- A past due date stays overdue until the item is done.
