Task types can now be configured with an automatic due date, so every time a new task of that type is created, the due date is already filled.
When setting up a task type, the number of days until the task is due and whether to count by calendar days or business days can be set. For example, if a building permit review must be completed within 10 business days, the interval is set to 10 and “Business Days” is selected. Every new task created with that type will automatically have the correct due date calculated and displayed on the form.
The due date appears immediately when opening the new task form, so the date can be verified before saving or adjusted manually if a specific situation calls for a different deadline.
