Due Dates

Due date rules will automatically assign due dates to your service records. Any service record that matches all of the requirements in one of your due date rules will automatically receive the due date you specify.

You can use the agreement dropdown filter to view due date rules for all agreements or for only one agreement.

Calculation of due dates

The calculation of due dates is based on the operating times of the specific agreement or company of the request user. If, for example, a ticket is submitted with a due period of 6 hours, but there are only 3 hours of operating time left in the day, then the due date will be 3 hours after the start of the next operating day.

Calculate due dates only on new incidents: If this box is checked, due date rules will only be applied at the creation of new service records. If this box is unchecked, due date rules will be applied any time a service record is changed so that it matches one of your due date rules. Make sure to click Save after checking or unchecking this box.
