Markers (Line Up) lets you add multiple entries to your Lineup in Basecamp at once, instead of creating them one by one. Define your key dates in a list, paste them into Can Do, and they all get added together.
This tool requires you to be an admin or owner in Basecamp.
How to do it from Can Do:
- Go to the Tools tab, then select Markers within Create.
- Paste or type your list, one marker per line, with the name and date separated by a comma, in MM/DD/YY format, for example:
Sprint 1 Kickoff, 7/7/26 Mid-Sprint Review, 7/14/26 Sprint 1 Delivery, 7/21/26
- Click See examples to view the exact format Can Do expects. You can also start from a template instead of writing your own list: Weeks, Months, Quarters, US Holidays, or Seasons.
- Your markers appear below the list. Add a new one, or delete one with the trash icon.
- Click Create.
Note: Make sure each marker has a name and date before creating them, always check that each line is complete before proceeding.
Keep this in mind:
- One line equals one marker, make sure each one is on its own line.
- Markers appear in your Lineup once created, giving your team a clear view of upcoming deadlines and key dates.
- You can write your list in any text editor, such as Notes, Word, Notion, or copy it directly from an email.
