An Action Center row can display Urgent or High priority as well as deadline information. Priority describes how the work is flagged; the due date describes when the recorded next step is expected.
Open the task to read its full instructions and actual date. A high-priority task is not automatically past due, and an overdue task does not need a separate urgent label to require attention.
The compact row can emphasize past-due information instead of showing every priority badge at once. If you are comparing two tasks, use their details and the team’s instructions rather than deciding from badge color alone.
If the priority and deadline appear inconsistent, ask the team which action should come first. Include the task titles and dates so the question is concrete. Filtering to Past due only is useful for overdue work, but it will exclude a future urgent task. Review both the relevant deadline view and the open queue when planning what to work on next.
