Deadlines and forwarding....

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi,
Thanks for the input - we had tried something like this before. The problem with it was that _WI_actual_agent is blank until the agent executes it. This would make reminders ineffective if they don't touch it.
 
Though I'm still not sure if this solves it either: _WI_actual_agent is Joe. After two days, Joe forwards it to Mary. Mary doesn't do anything about it and Joe still keeps getting the reminders - because the modeled deadline was already in process by the time Joe forwarded the item.
 
Thanks
Mike

Thus if we were to e.g. put a one day deadline on the task and have it loop, then the longest any task would take is one day. Aside from that, forwarding still needs to be taken into account so that it doesn't loop back to the original agent.
