How to set due date on sharepoint workflow task

I'm sure this is a very trivial question for this group, but...
Using SharePoint Designer 2013 to build a workflow. I have assigned a task. How do I set the due date for a specific number of days out, i.e. 10 days from the task creation date?
It seems like this should be really simple but I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please follow below steps,
- Go to Tasks lists --> list settings --> change due date column to calculated value and add the following formula,
[Today]+10
I hope this works.

How to set due date as a workday in STS

Dear Experts
In the STS customizing, in the Reminder Function, is it possible to set the due date as a workday/time from calendar instead of a fixed date? It's same for the completion time (date) when determining Date, Person Resp., Layouts.
Thanks in advance!
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
here a bit of coding:
read the template (or default session you have set up)
SELECT * FROM ups_links
    INTO TABLE lt_ups_links
    WHERE teilplan = your plan
    AND version = your version.
LOOP AT lt_ups_links.
    CONVERT DATE your duedate TIME +your duetime+ INTO
                              TIME STAMP lt_ups_links-tstamp
                               TIME ZONE 'CET   '.
ENDLOOP.
MODIFY ups_links FROM TABLE lt_ups_links.

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.

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)

How to set JDBC Data Sources in Oracle MapViewer for Oracle database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?
The following is my configuration in the conf\mapViewerConfig.xml:
<map_data_source name="mvdemo12"
jdbc_host="127.0.0.1"
jdbc_sid="orcl12c1"
jdbc_port="1522"
jdbc_user="mvdemo"
jdbc_password="7OVl2rJ+hOYxG5T3vKJQb+hW4NPgy9EN"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
editable="true"/>

But it does not work.
After use "sqlplus mvdemo/[email protected]:1522/pdborcl", it connected to the Oracle database 12c.
Does anyone know it?
Thanks,

For 11.1.1.7.1 use the syntax for jdbc_sid, i.e.
//mypdb1.foo.com as described in the README,
- MapViewer native (non-container) data sources can now use database service name in place of SID. To supply a db service name, you will use the same jdbc_sid attribute, but specify the service name with double slashes in front, such as follows:
<map_data_source name="myds"
    jdbc_host="foo.com"
    jdbc_sid="//mypdb1.foo.com"
    jdbc_port="1522"
/>
For 11.1.1.7.0 use a container_ds instead.
i.e. instead of using
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                   jdbc_host="mydbinstance"
                   jdbc_sid="pdborcl12c"
                   jdbc_port="1522"
                   jdbc_user="mytestuser"
                   jdbc_password="m2E7T48U3LfRjKwR0YFETQcjNb4gCMLG8/X0KWjO00Q="
                   jdbc_mode="thin"
                   number_of_mappers="6"
                   allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                   editable="false"
   />
use
<map_data_source name="my_12c_test"
                   container_ds="jdbc/db12c"
                   number_of_mappers="6"
                   allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="false"
                   editable="false"
   />
In my case the Glassfish 3.1.2.2 JDBC connection pool definition was
Property
url jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydbinstance:1522/pdborcl12c.rest_of.service.name
Uncheck the Wrap JDBC Objects option in Advanced panel, i.e. the Edit JDBC Connection Pool Advanced properties page.
Add a JDBC resource for that newly created pool
Use that in mapviewerconfig.xml as above

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
Technical Requirement:
How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
Following is the code to describe date field in my application.
    <htmlb:inputField id= "ENDDA_NEW_IN"
                      type= "date"
                doValidate= "TRUE"
                  showHelp= "TRUE"
                  disabled= "FALSE"
                     width= "183"
                     style= "cssTextAreadate"
                     value= "<%='99991231'%>"/>

How to map Due date from Jdev to show in BPM Workspace

Hello,
Requirement:
Due date of the human tasks(that are set in jdev) should be visible in BPM Workspace .
I have added due date column in BPM workspace under process tracking and observed that the column is not reflecting the due date.
I found in a blog that we can map the variables that are required as flex fields to the systemManagedAttributes and then use them in BPM Workspace.
In our requirement, we have date as an input variable, for due date if i use "By Duration" and give 2 days then the date due will the "date which we will give as input+2days". So to map that due date to the systemManagedAttributes, which variables do i need to map so as to reflect the due date in workspace.
Please suggest any other ways of reflecting the due date of human task in BPM workspace.
Thanks,
Sravani.

Hi Sravani,
I admire your innovative solution using flex fields, but there is a simpler way to show the deadlines in the Workspace's task list.
You can simply add the "Expires" column in the Workspace for your Inbox. That way it will automatically show your human task's deadline in the Expires column and you can avoid going the flex field route.

Any easier way to set due dates?

By and large, I'm pretty happy with the functionality of iCal, even if it's a bit basic. But setting due dates on to dos and events is very frustrating!
Let's say you add a new to do, then click the due date box. Today's date is filled in, say, 26/08/2007 in my part of the world. I want to schedule the to do for next month. To change it you click on the day part, enter a number (say, 08), then tab or click on the month part. At this time the iCal display jumps to 08/08/2007 (in the past!). Now I get to manually type in the new month, 9, and press Return or tab and things are good again. It's all kind of long-winded and messy. What's sorely needed is a drop-down calendar picker, or the ability to click on the existing calendar at the left to pick a date.
Does anyone know of any easier way to enter due dates? I've even looked for external programs that handle to do functionality, but can't find any that automatically sync changes to iCal for syncing to my Palm Treo. Anyone know if iCal in Leopard is any better in this regard?
Thanks in advance!

I couldn't agree more. I can't believe that this has escaped Apple for so long, and didn't even make it into Leopard. Let's say its the middle of November and I want to schedule a to-do due date for the end of the week, say Friday, second week of December. I do this all the time. Sorry, but I can't do the math this quickly, so I need to open up a calendar, or scroll down the calendar, then enter the exact date manually.
Just give me a quick pop-up. Travel web sites do this. Now Up To Date in 1992 had drop down calendars. So does Entourage, which is what I use ONLY because of this one glaring pain. Entering due dates, reminders, etc, is just a pain in iCal, and even worse now in Mail.

How to set default date value to a field on screen

How to set default date value to a field on screen and allow users to modify it ....

Hello,
In the PAI module, you need to save the changes to the database using the command MODIFY.
Follow an example:
Create or change a message in database table T100. If there is no message with the number 100 in the MYMSGCLASS message class in English, it will be created. Otherwise only the text is changed.
DATA message_wa TYPE t100.
message_wa-sprsl = 'EN'.
message_wa-arbgb = 'MYMSGCLASS'.
message_wa-msgnr = '100'.
message_wa-text = 'Some new message ...'.
MODIFY t100 FROM message_wa.

How to set the Data Synchronisation mode for ADF BC component
Thanks
Raghavendra

Can you clarify what you mean by the data synchronization mode?
If you mean the Sync Mode, then in 10.1.3 you set this property by:
1. Selecting your DataBindings.cpx file
2. Expanding the "Data Control Usages" section in the structure window
3. Selecting the ADFBC-based data control
4. Setting the "syncMode" property in the property inspector.

Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
1) When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected. However when we click on the document
link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option. Why does this happen?????
2) The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email; HOWEVER, one of our co-workers does get the
check out option when clicking on the link in the email task. Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ???? We have compared our internet settings and adobe
settings to ours and found no differences.
We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI. Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
It will be better if you can descript how you
get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
Then I upload a
word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
Thank you for your understanding.

Linda Li

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.
