Surface task deadlines and activity dates inside every collection

Surface task deadlines and activity dates inside every collection

Kinabase now supports Activities and Tasks in both aggregation field types:

  • Aggregation (Date) – shows the earliest or latest date you choose.
  • Aggregation – shows a running count.

Use the date option to bring 'next task due' or 'last activity' straight into the collection view, and add a count if you also want to see workload or engagement at a glance.

Why it helps:

  • See what’s next: an earliest Due Date field highlights the record that needs action first.
  • Know what’s fresh: a latest Timestamp field tells you when each record was last touched.
  • Gauge effort: a simple count reveals where tasks or activities are piling up.
  • Stay current: figures update automatically whenever tasks or activities are added, edited, completed, or imported.

How to use it

  1. ConfigureFieldsAdd field.
  2. Pick Aggregation (Date) (for dates) or Aggregation (for counts).
  3. Select a Target type (Tasks or Activities).
    • For dates: choose Earliest or Latest, then pick the task or activity field (e.g. Due Date, Scheduled – start, Completed at, Timestamp).
    • For counts: leave Mode as Count.

Save, and the new column appears instantly.


Ideal for:

  • Account managers sorting by latest activity to keep every client warm.
  • Project leads scanning earliest due dates to hit the next milestone.
  • Team leads filtering by task count to balance workloads.
