<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>If I understand you correctly, you just need to call your task
that returns the date/time, sometime in your workflow before the task which
will use the date/time for its deadline. Your date/time task step fills
a workflow container element(s). Then in your activity step, on the deadline
tab you reference those container element(s) to define the deadline. (I
take it your activity step is the user decision you mention.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

manager somewhere before the task which needs to use that manager as the agent.

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>When the deadline passes, will the line manager simply get a
message, or does the line manager need to get a work item? If only a message,
then in the same activity task where you set the deadline, you specify the
manager as the recipient of the notification, so you would need to put the task
step for determining the manager before that activity step. If the manager needs
to get a work item then you need to use a modeled deadline. If you are
using a modeled deadline then you would put the step to determine that manager
in the new branch, so it is only executed if the deadline is missed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi Experts,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have never worked on dead line monitoring (Latest
End,expression), I have a task based on the import parameter factory calender
id ,dead line date and time will be returned and also I have a task which
will return the line manager who should receive the workitem. I understand in
expression I should call the elemnts date and time but I am not aware
where to call the task which will return the date and time and also the task
which will return the line manager. Does the tasks need to be called before the
user decission step?? Or inside the new branch created for dead line
monitpring?? Or do I need to call the user decission step in a loop?? Or
do I need to create a new user decission step for line manager??.Please help
me.<o:p></o:p></p>
