Indicator Task due date

[Colin Anderson]

Hi,

Does anybody know how the "Due Date" of an Indicator Task is calculated ?

And can we influence this due date ?

My use case is that we want to have a due date which should be dependent on the indicator frequency.

For example, 

Indicator frequency = annual > Indicator-due-date = creation date + 3 months

Indicator frequency = quarterly > Indicator-due-date = creation date + 6 weeks

Indicator frequency = monthly > Indicator-due-date = creation date + 3 weeks

Hi @Colin Anderson 

the due date of Indicator tasks is determined by teir respective indicator template.
There is a field "due_date_duration" on indicator templates,

where a indicator inherits his own "due_date_duration".
This field determines the days that are added to "today" if "today" a task for this particular indicator is created.

As this is automated and i suggest not to manipulate too much, you may use a  business rule for your case. Either before insert or async ( i prefer asynch, as changing this fiels is not time critical).

Set the field value depending on the frequency in a "switch case"-pattern and you should be fine.

Kind regards

Thanks, this solves my problem. Don't know how I missed that due-date-duration field 🙂
