Custom or Simple Statuses

Statuses are an integral part of a marketing workflow inside of ClickUp! Statuses are
helpful when keeping track of your campaigns and tasks inside of them!

ClickApps Customize the Details

Enable Priorities on Tasks

Priority

We all know the difference between “DROP EVERYTHING, DO THIS NOW!” and “Do this when you can.” Teachers can make this clear by adding priority to homework assignments, and students can be more transparent amongst their teams. With priorities, each of your team members will know what’s most important.
Start and Due Times

Start & Due Dates

One of the deans have a big project, but you’re waiting for approval? Or maybe you can’t start this idea until after the semester break? Set up Start Dates to help your team know when to begin a project...and when it needs to be finished.
Project Intake Forms

Project Intake Forms (Coming Soon!)

Higher-Ed Teams Love ClickUp

"My team used Clickup as a project management tool for instructional designers creating new online courses. The interface and collaboration tools were incredibly intuitive and relatively powerful. It provided an excellent structure to track complex projects, and for bringing in teams of people to work on such projects. Support has been incredibly responsive and eager to implement our suggestions."
Justin H. - Coordinator, Office of Teaching Effectiveness
"The first thing I love is how ClickUp communicates with you. You are greeted with a personal rep as soon as you sign up and you can call them anytime. I called mine 4 times within the first 2 days! We also enjoy using it and are much more organized than we used to be."
Moe J. - Online Instructor in Education Management
"I appreciate the huge effort that ClickUp puts into customer service and constant development of the program. I first looked into ClickUp in August 2017, but it was not yet developed enough for my needs. It has since not only met my needs, but surpasses them, and I've been a happy client since April 2018."
Geoff B.
