Changing Deadlines

Use

You use this function if you want to change the deadlines for a work item at workflow runtime. This dialog box displays all the deadlines of work item processing.

For more information, see Current Deadlines of a Work Item.

Features

Depending on whether the work item represents a step in the workflow or a single-step task, the deadlines were either specified when this step was defined in the workflow definition or when the single-step task was started in dialog.

The dialog box is split into the following sections:

Deadlines

Start by (latest start)
End by (duration)

Plan dates

Start by (requested start)
End by (required end deadline)

A monitored deadline shown with blue is in the past. If is also displayed, the appropriate action has been initiated (for example, the deadline recipient has been informed).

Actual dates/times

Created on: Creation date/time of the work item

(Technically: The work item is created with the status ready or - if the requested start date has not yet been reached - with the status waiting).
Processed from: Start of processing

(Technically: Transition of the work item to the status in process).
Completed on: End of processing or date when set to "done"

(Technically: Transition of the work item to the status completed).
