Setting Up Time Rules
Time rules are a set of policies that uses the input code enforcement inspection parameters – due date type, trigger date, priority, and occurrence to calculate due dates.
The following logic is used to calculate due date:
Due Date = Trigger date + Dates based on the time rule
If the number of transactions created exceed the policy count, then the time rule that is defined for the highest policy occurrence will be triggered.
Time rules are assigned to the issue subtype of the incident, the values of which are sourced from the Code Enforcement Options page. See Setting Up Agency-Level Options for Code Enforcement.
