Set Up Work Order Due Dates
What are Due Dates for?
The Due Date field helps manage task deadlines and prioritize work. You can set a due date for any Work Order to:
Manage project timelines
Prioritize urgent tasks
Ensure timely completion of Work Orders
How will I know that a Work Order has reached its Due Date?
Once a Due Date is breached, the Assignee of the Work Order will be notified.
Keep reading to see how you can set up a Tasklist based on Due Dates to stay on top of work that is due in the future!
How do I set up a Due Date?
The Due Date field can be programmatically set up in a task or Work Order template in Company Settings. This can be done either in the "Task & Work Order templates" section, or directly from the Workflow builder itself.
While editing the selected Work Order, you can find the Due Date right above the Assignee.
Due Dates will be dynamically set from the date the Work Order is opened in each individual Project.
Leveraging Due Dates to Create Tasklists
Due Dates make the most impact when they help your team prioritize their work. You can set up a tasklist grouped by Work Orders that are due this week, next week, or overdue.
How do I create a saved Tasklist?
You can save a tasklist as a Smart View for quick access.
Go to Home → Work from the left navigation menu.
Use the filters across the top to narrow down the list by user, event type, or Work Order Status.
Click Save in the top-right corner to save your Smart View and access it from the left navigation menu.
Access it later through Browse Views, or star it to keep it under Starred Views.
