What is the use of the 'Follow Up' field (follow_up) on HR Case form?

Hi,

I found a field called 'Follow Up' (follow_up) on the HR Case form in my Quebec PDI. I don't recall seeing in other instances I used before, so was wondering what is this field's purpose and whether it is tied to any script or rule?

Thanks in advance,

Eugen.

Follow up is inherited from the Task table:

Commonly used to set a date/time the task needs action.

 

 

In HR for example as an HR Specialist you can use this if you agreed to get back to an employee, set the agreed date and give the person a call or follow up reply.

 

If you are waiting for an answer for a supplier and need to check back etc..

 

There is no specific logic for HR attached to this field that I am aware of.

In addition found this reply by Slava:

For any table that extends Task [task] base table, you can add Follow Up (follow_up) field and Reminders related list to the form layout. By entering relevant date/time and creating a new record in the related list, you can quickly set up a reminder notification for yourself.
