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

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.

I just upgraded to iOS 7 and I realized that the "Completed" tasks folder in the "Reminders" application was erased. I had important information there. How can I recover my completed tasks and the dates the tasks were completed?.

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?

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 .

SharePoint 2013 Workflow Email Reminder 3 month, 1 month, due date email reminders

Hello,
I am trying to create a list workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Basically, there's a column called "Revision Date" that will trigger the workflow to send a 3 month (before), 1 month (before) and day of email reminder (based on the date entered in the column "Revision Date").
I step up the workflow using stages for the 3 month before, 1 month before and actual revision date.
Example, if I change the item's revision date to today (4/8/2014), it will trigger the last part of the workflow and send an email saying that the Procedure is due today (and logs in the history that "3 Month Reminder NOT Sent" and "1 Month
Reminder NOT Sent").
If I enter the item's revision date as 3 months before (ex. 7/8/2014), it will start the workflow and send an email saying that the Procedure is due in 3 months (and logs in the history "3 Month Reminder Sent" and waits for the 1 month reminder
date to push forward with the rest of the workflow...)
However, if I set the item's revision date to 1 month before (ex. 5/8/2014), it will send the 3 month reminder email then the 1 one reminder email. I can't get it to skip the sending of the 3 month email and use the "Else" is Stage: 3 Month-- <Wait
for 1 month date (Vairable:Date4) then log "3 Month Reminder NOT Sent">.
Any ideas on what I am missing to trigger the Stage: 1 Month without sending Stage: 3 Month first?

In case anyone is looking for the same information...
I was able to simply "fix" the workflow by adding a loop and a 30 day pause.
So the workflow will now "pause" until the variable date then send out the email reminder which then then repeat every 30 days until the actual revision date.
Seems to be working in test.
Thanks!

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.

Hi,

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?

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.

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.

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?

Reminder Workflow does not recalculate new date to send email, if due date is changed

I created a basic reminder workflow using due date, and status column. it works well.
Let's say, I want to send a reminder email 2 days prior to the due date.
I used Add -2 to due date and set a variable
then used Pause variable
if status is not equal to completed
then send email
And I have this set to initiate when a new item is created, and modified.
However, if the due date is changed, it does not recalculate the new date to send the reminder email. Help!

Hi MonalisaM,
The in-progress workflow instance will be unable to re-start itself when list item is modified, but I think you can design workflow with using the second workflow to update the list item one filed, then this update triggers
the first workflow again.
Stop this reminder workflow (first workflow) when due date is changed, then this will trigger the second workflow to change another custom column(e.g. Flag), then the first workflow will be triggered due to this custom column
Flag value changed by second workflow, I mean the second workflow is used to upadate this custom list item one filed(e.g. Flag) in order to trigger the reminder workflow(first workflow).
You can read the following article for more information to understand how to make the first workflow re-start by using second workflow.

How to set a due date in Reminders

Hey guys this had been bugging me for a while so I decided I'd share my findings. This is a pseudo-fix but I think it works for my purposes.
First, the solution:
Open Automator (go into Spotlight and search "Automator")
Create a new service
Under the "Service Receives" dropdown select "none" and make sure it's "every application"
Then in the search bar to the left find "Run AppleScript"
Drag and drop the "Run AppleScript" to the right.
Paste the following code in the "Run AppleScript":
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 newReminder to make new reminder
                    set name of newReminder to "new reminder"
                    set due date of newReminder to current date
          end tell
else
          display dialog "failed to make new reminder!"
end if
Save the service as whatever you'd like, I named mine "new-reminder-with-due-date"
Now close Automator, go to "System Preferences" -> "Keyboard" -> "Shortcuts"
Go to the bottom where it says "Shortcuts..." Add an entry, in the Application say "Reminders"
Then paste the name of the service name you chose earlier (again mine was "new-reminder-with-due-date")
Choose a shortcut to make a new reminder with a due date, For me I chose CMD + SHIFT + n
Close the System Preferences
Now when you use your shortcut in the Reminders app it will create a new Reminder with the due date set as "now"
Change the due date to whatever you want and there you go
Now the explanation. I used references from:
http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/enhancing-reminders-with-applescript-and-mac ros/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7570855/where-to-find-what-commands-propertie s-are-available-for-applescript-in-microsof
Basically Reminders happens to have the "due date" property as a scriptable feature. So with AppleScript you can make a new reminder with a due date. I set the date to "Current Date" because I just needed the due date there. You can set the default due date to something else if you'd like but this is at least a solution you can use.
I'm now going to explore how to add a due date to an existing reminder using AppleScript. Hope this helps everyone in the future.

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

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.

Strange one day adding to tasks due date (Outlook –SharePoint- MS Project integration)

Hi,
I have integrated MS Project 2010 with MS Outlook 2010 via SharePoint. Everything has gone more or less smoothly (as it could be for Microsoft
J), but finally I got into a strange problem. Strangely enough,
MS Outlook, while syncing tasks with SharePoint (these tasks are pre-created in MS Project and synced with SharePoint beforehand),
adds one day to due dates of each of these tasks, e.g. for “Task 1” due date in MS Project and on SharePoint is 20.10.2010, but MS Outlook puts it as 21.10.2010, for “Task 2” due date in MS Project and on SharePoint is 22.10.2010, but MS Outlook
puts it as 23.10.2010, etc.
What is a strange trick? I have checked work time, holidays - everything is the same in MS Outlook, SharePoint and MS Project (8-17, Mon-Fri, 8 hours, 40 days a week). What could it be?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
It seems nobody can reply, so I will reply by myself because I found out the answer. The answer from Microsoft is pretty simple - ha-ha we know about,
we will work on it, wait, ha-ha. Firstly let me quote Microsoft senior tech answer on the same request 3 month ago:
"Hello Artur,
The senior tech got back to me with the following conclusion:
Outlook is rounding everything set to 12:00 PM or after to the next date because the columns mapped to start date and due dates are only Date columns,
not date/time columns.
It is rounding at noon because of the .5 decimal. This can be seen in Excel - 41115.5 = 7/25/2012 12:00 in date/time format whereas 41115.49 = 7/25/2012
11:45.
The issue seems to be an expected behavior, the next level of support is working on the same but currently I have not been provided with any ETA, so
it looks like the issue will take a good amount of time to get fixed.
I would appreciate your patience while we are working on the issue. I will keep you posted as and when I get an update on the issue."
Sounds good, does not it? Ok. After asking this question recently I got run-around and finally I found the same question unsolved (see the quotation
before) more than 3 month ago. I have sent it to Microsoft Tech Support. Look at reply I got from them on 22.10.2012:
"This issue has been noticed and will be handled by the product team. Once we have any updates, it will be responded to you timely".
So the basic function does not work properly, there month passed - no way! Wait until what? I could hardly
even imagine how Microsoft launched the product with such a bug and is not resolving the problem for months.

Ical..... Sort items by due date

I always like to see my tasks deadlines. so I always like to sort the items by due date in the list the "To Do Items". My point is when I updated something I always need to click the option and sort items by due date again. Can I do that action with an special command instead to used the click option?
Thank you

More information about my problem:
I have setted my field under environment > sort fields > dunning notice items
New sort variant 50 u2013 for a test have tried the
Sequence 1 u2013 budat
Sequence 2 u2013 bldatu2026 (not necessary for test only )
Also under environment I have changed the company code datau2026
As:
Comp code Sort MHNK sort MHND
K1 (unchanged) 50 (new u2013 changed)
But still the dunning print will not react to the settingsu2026
