Due Date + Other tasks

I have an action with a due date notification. I need to do two things when the due date is reached:
1. Send a notification to the process participants that the due date has been reached - this is easy, as I can just create a notification CO which is sent to all process participants.
2. Reset the status of a business document.
How do i do #2? From what I've found, the Due Date notification terminates the process immediately - how can I execute a CO before this happens? Or, do I have to build a custom 'Due Date' CO that both sends the termination notification, and resets the status of the business document?

Due Date in Tasks Program

Help. I recently upgraded my Treo/Palm to the 700p. When I enter items in my task menu, it automatically places a 2031 date with the task. Even when I indicate "no due date", it immediately reverts to the artifical date. It's frustrating.
Any suggestions? I have checked all option and preference screens. Nothing indicates a default date option.
I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Setting Due Date for task using business days

While this may not be new news to many, I found little information on how to add a certain number of business days to determine the due date for a task to be used in a workflow. For SharePoint 2010 environments that cannot run custom code, I have
found a solution that utilizes two additional columns in the task list. The first column I named
Deadline (a number with no decimal places), which will contain the number of business days until a task is to be completed.
The second I named Business Deadline (a calculated column returning a
Date and Time). The formula for the calculated column is:
=[Modified]+INT(ROUNDDOWN([Deadline]/5,0)*7)+ IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))<MOD([Deadline],5), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+4, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5)+2)=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+3,MOD([Deadline],5)+2)), IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=7,MOD([Deadline],5)+2, IF(WEEKDAY([Modified]+MOD([Deadline],5))=1,MOD([Deadline],5)+1,MOD([Deadline],5))))
The workflow on create in the task list then is:
Set Deadline to {number of business days}
then Wait for Deadline to equal {number of business days} 'Necessary to ensure the Business Deadline has been set
'then Set Due Date to CurrentItem:Business Deadline
Hope this helps a few others that are beating their heads against their desks like I was.

Email reminders to complete task by due date in Task list

How to have reminders on a task list to remind task owners to complete their pending tasks? Any out of the box solution would be appreciated even with work around
Environment: SharePoint 2013, Nintex Workflow, NO SharePoint Designer
Kesava

Hi Kesava, how do you want to remind them? When? You could use a formula in a calculated column to set the date of the reminder based off a date column in your list. However, sending the actual reminder will require an advanced workflow, not something
you can do out of the box.

Task Due date in SharePoint 2013

Hi All,
we have an issue where we want some customization or possible turn around solution on SharePoint 2013. i want to know that if we are allocating any Task to any user then we have Start Date & Due Date in Task Form. Here what i want that automatically,
after 2 Days, Due date column should be freezes/locked (No more changes in that). And if we want to change Due date then can only change 2 times & if we want to change again Due date as 3rd time then it should not allow to change at all & require some
kind of approval from Management.

Hello,
For the limited number of modification of the due date, I would use an event receiver on "itemupdating" with this kind of logic
If (Properties.ListItem[«Due Date»] != Properties.AfterProperties[«Due Date»]) //modification of the date
check the number of modification, if less than 3 , increment the number and continue, if 3 set
Properties.AfterProperties[«Due Date»]) =Properties.ListItem[«Due Date»]
here some info about creating event recivers :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg252010(v=office.14).aspx (for 2010 but the same for 2013)
Best regards, Christopher.

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?
----------------------- Sharepoint Newbie

Hi ,
As Ajeet said, for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
You can do as the following :
Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).
For more information, see

How to retrieve a due date from a human task and create a report in BAM with it

Hi.
I'm working with a BPM process, the requirement is that I have a human task and a working hours limit to complete it. For this purpose I created a calendar in the bpm workspace and I've associated it to a role that executes that human task. Now I need to know how can I pass it into a data_object in BAM in order to create a Dashboard that lets me know whether a human task was completed just in time.
I'm using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.7.0
Thank you.

There's a correction to the code. For whatever reason doing it that way still sets it as a "remind me when" parameter. Use the following code instead:
tell application "System Events" to set FrontAppName to name of first process where frontmost is true
if FrontAppName is "Reminders" then
          tell application "Reminders"
                    set duedate to (current date) + (2 * days)
make new reminder with properties {name:"New Reminder", due date:duedate}
          end tell
else
          display dialog "failed to make new reminder!"
end if

Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed

sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed.
Could we approve the task automatically once due date is apssed?
MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

Hi Amit,
If your task is created by a workflow (first) and stored in a separate task list, you can create another workflow on this particular task list, then each workflow instance would check if current task is expired (not approved/rejected), then
determine if update current task's "Task Outcome" as approved (and update task status as complete), and then create a retention policy on this paricular task list to trigger the workflow on due date .

Why do my recurring tasks have a due date earlier than the reminder date?

When I create a recurring task in the reminders app, it stores it as a due date 1 day sooner than the reminder date. Thus, if I set a weekly task for Saturday, it shows up in my date view as being on Friday. When I look at the details of the task, it shows that the due date was Friday and the reminder date was Saturday. I know I set it up correctly (for being on Saturdays only) but it's being stored wrong.
This is happening only for the recurring tasks. My single-use tasks are working fine. Has this happened to anyone else?

Caetano,
Thanks for the response! The only code it looks like I am getting is Exception Code 30 "Plan process according to schedule.
When you said that Forward Scheduling did not look like it had been executed which is what I thought. It got me thinking some more.
I ended up going to Tcode OPPR and checking Start in Past and there the system is set up to be "Control at plant leve"
Then I went to Tcode OMIT and the Start in Past check box was not marked.
So I would say we don't have Forward Scheduling set up at my location.
I am going to work on getting that changed and then rerun MRP to see if our release dates get brought in.
Thanks again for your help.

TS4000 How do I organize tasks by due date in iCloud

I recently began syncing my Outlook task list to my iPhone via iCloud. All the tasks are there, but there is no order to them. It's just a random list of tasks. I need to organize them by due date but I have not figured out how to do that. Does anyone have a solution?

dswalston wrote:
How do I organize the photos on a PC? I can download them, but in iTunes I don't have a way to work with the photos - and I can't figure out how I can organize using my PC Windows Explorer.
As you have been told, you do not organize photos with iTunes, and the photos are really not handled by iTunes, it is just a helper. You would organize the photos on the computer like you would any files. Just remember, when you select folders in iTunes to sync, iTunes will only sync down one level, in other words, don't create folders within folders. After creating folders with names you want, put the photos in the folders and then sync to the phone. In the Photos tab, just select the individual folders you want. You do not have to sync all folders and all of the thousands that you have on the computer, only the selected ones you want. Just remember that saving photos in the camera roll, or now the recently added, is just inviting problems. That area is very much like volatile memory on the computer. If something happens to the phone and you have to reset, if you do not have those photos imported to the computer or are just relying on the iPhone backup, you could find yourself without photos at all. Import them and then sync back. That way the backup of the photos is the computer folder.

Cannot update due date in SharePoint 2010 Approvel Workflow generated Task

Wondering why due date cannot be changed by users with List permissions on a Task which was generated from the built-in Approval workflow.
I can have the workflow set the initial due date. The business process dictates that at times the due date need to be updated on the Task before they are completed (shift to the right or whatever).
The column settings for the due date field do not seem to be set as read only??? why can the not be updated by users/admins?
If the due date must be updated by a workflow how can a workflow be manually be run...like an administrator business process feature?
BTW...this project mandates that all processes are run with OOB settings (codeless).
Thanks
Ok, found the answer to this on another post: click on the workflow status field of the workflow that generated the tasks. Then click "Add or update assignees". Very nice!

Hi,
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Beside the way you mentioned, you can also try to reassign the task from the task list directly. Thus you can enter a new duration for this task and SharePoint will generate a new task.

Human task notification after due date/expiration date/...

I would like to set a due date (or expiration date) to Human task, and set some notification before this time. Ok, it seemed very easy:
- i set due date to 5 minutes in human task -> Deadlines
- i set notifications in human task -> notification and in tab Advanced i set remind once 2 minutes before due date
Nothing happens. Exactly same (nothing) happens when i do the same with expiration date.
But what exactly is meaned under word "Reminder"?
It's mail? (then where I have to set email adress? I tried to set a "to" field in human task -> notification -> tab Advanced -> notif. header attributes => nothing happened)
It's worklist inbox message?
Or what ist "reminder" and how it should remind me?

Hi,
I don’t know if you’ve managed to resolve this issue yet and you mention you have emails working from BPEL, but I'm not sure if you've got any notifications working for the Human Task, if not then I have done some work with the human task notifications and although I’ve not tried to do what you’re doing, this is what I have learned.
Firstly to receive any notifications you need to configure the Messaging Driver and Workflow Notification Properties…
In Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
Right click soa-infra and choose SOA Administration -> Workflow Notification Properties
Underneath the page title (Workflow Notification Properties) is a note telling you to configure the Messaging Service Driver. Click the "Go to the Messaging Driver page" link.
In the associated drivers section you will have a single entry for soa_server1 (or what ever it's called for you). In the right hand column there is a button for configuring the driver, click this.
In the driver specific configuration, scroll down to OutgoingMailServer and enter the hostname or IP address of your mail server, then click Apply at the top of the screen.
Now go back to the Workflow Notification Properties screen and choose “Email” from the notification Mode and enter some sensible email addresses in the Notification Service section. It’s useful to have real email addresses in here at the moment because any failures will be returned to this address.
You now need to restart Weblogic for these changes to take affect.
After the restart you can test the notifications by doing the following
Back in Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
Right click soa-infra and choose Service Engines -> Human Workflow
Click on the Notification Management tab.
You can click the "Sent Test Notification" button to make sure everything is working ok. This screen also allows you to monitor notifications for failures.
Now that the notifications have been set up you can configure who gets notified on which events against your human task in JDeveloper.
The email addresses for the users are retrieved from your identify provider for the relevant user, by default this is the internal LDAP directory. I’m not using this, so I’m not sure exactly how this will work. There are options in the worklist application for individual users, but I’m not using this either.
Now that this is set up you can configure the human task within JDeveloper. On the notification tab you can decide who gets notified when. By default when a task is assigned to a user, the assignees are notified, you can play about with these settings to see what works best for you. Have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_workflow.htm#BABBHDGF for more information.
I’m not sure I’ve solved your problem, but I hope this at least helps.

Incorrect task due dates after synchronization

My device: Curve 8900. TMobile. Blackberry desktop manager software v5.0.1. Windows VISTA. Outlook 2003, SP3.
Sorry, not sure of the exact mechanics of what happens, but I know that after synchronizing my Curve with Outlook, or perhaps it takes multiple synchs, some tasks end up with bizarre due or start dates in Outlook, but typically not in the device. Normally, I don't enter a start date, only a due date and/or a reminder, as appropriate for that task. Sometimes I leave none for all the dates. One task I initially created over a year ago, but leave active as a reminder, now has 9/1/2155 for the due and start dates, even though I could have sworn I recently set those dates to none in Outlook, and subsequently synched outlook w/ the device.
Another task has a due date of 10/11/1969 in Outlook, and none in the device.
Has anyone else experienced this or similar problems? If so, I would appreciate hearing about any possible solutions.

i have the same issue- weird random dates. I don't see any replies to this post. Have you had any luck figuring out what's going on?
I'm on Windows XP, Outlook 2003, Desktop manager v4.5 (looks like I need to update that!)

WLI 7.0 Question about Set Task due date action

Hi,
I am trying to manage time out issue efficiently and, as described in the
WLI documentation, the
timeout has to be design with a dedicated path with, as the first task, a
set task due date action.
I was wondering about the timeout of this task due date...
How can I stop this action before the end of the 'due date' without deleting
the instance associated to my workflow ?
Do you have any advice ?
Thanks

HI,
Customizing the Task List
You can customize the column headers or search for required tasks by clicking on Customize Table Header. The option allows you to specify the columns to be showed in the list table, to provide the sorting order, and to set the page size. The sorting order could be complex with option to provide multiple columns for sorting and the order (ascending/descending) for each of them.
To create a custom query and search for tasks:
1.In the Task List page, click Customize Table Header.
In the Construct a Custom Query form, specify the search criteria by specifying any of the following values.
2.Enter the task name. You can use the * character at the start or the end of the name.
3.Enter the task ID. Separate multiple values using comma.
4.Select the check box against the Administration and Working state of the task.
5.Enter any comment. You can use regular expression.
6.Enter the priority range.
7.Enter the Assignee, Owner, or Claimant names.
8.Specify the completion due date range.
9.If required, select the Include tasks with no completion due date check box.
10.Click Apply.
All tasks that match the specified criteria are displayed in the Task List page.
To customize the table header:
1.In the Task List page, click Customize Table Header. The Construct a Custom Query form appears.
2.In the View form, select the columns that you want to view in the Task List page.
3.Select the Preserve Search Criteria check box to retain these details for the current session.
4.Select the maximum number of search results that should be displayed on the page.
5.Select the number of rows that should be displayed in the page.
6.Click Apply.
The view in the Task List page is updated based on the current settings.
Using this option you can set the completion due date
Hope this information will help you solve the issue.
Regards,
Kal.
