| This date is to be used to calculate the final due date of the task. If "Task Creation Date" is selected, Regent Award will look at the date the task was created, and add or subtract the offset days entered on the UI, to calculate the due date of the task. If the "Admitted Date / Graduation Date" is selected, Regent Award will look at both dates, per the task, and use the following logic in order to calculate the due date of the task:
|
Due Date Offset | Optional | Numeric - 3 digits max | Allow positive and negative numbers | This field determines the number of days after task creation, that the task is due based off of calendar days with no consideration for weekends, holidays, etc. If the field is left blank, the task will not be assigned a due date. The due date will be null, and editable by the end user. If 0 is entered, the task due date will be the date chosen in the "Date Used for Task Escalation" field. If a negative number is entered, the due date will be that number of days before the selected "Date for Escalation". If a positive number is entered, the due date will be that number of days after the selected "Date for Escalation". |
