7.8 Setting a Due Date

Analyst and Supervisor can set a due date or modify an existing due date to provide a resolution to the report.

The Set Due Date action is available in the application only when an Administrator set the Edit Due Date Flag attribute to Y in the Application Parameters table. For more information, see the OFS Case Investigation Administration Guide.

Table 7-1 Behavior and Attributes for Due Date Fields

Attribute Name	Value	Behavior
Due Date with edit		Users mapped to this role can set, edit, or view the due date.
Due date with the view		Users mapped to this role can only view the due date.
Number of Days	N	When a report is created either manually or through action from the case, the application automatically sets the due date to action date + N calendar days. If the parameter is blank, no date is set. The default is five days.
