Dead line monitoring using expression

[Hilsbos, Margaret A]

Hi Srini,

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.)

Likewise, you need to call your task that returns the line manager somewhere before the task which needs to use that manager as the agent.

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.

I hope that helps!

Hi Experts,

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.


Thanks and Regards
Srini..
