In the online documentation, it states:
To set, or to allow users to set, a time constraint on this Activity, select options in the lower half of the dialog: Allow to override due date
If selected, this option enables users to do one of the following:
•If no period is specified under Expires in, the user can set a due date for the specific Activity Instance.
•If a period is specified, the user can change the due date of the Activity Instance.Which Activity Definition a user can modify, and when, depends on the user's rights:
•A user with Workflow Management rights can set or change the due date of any Activity at any time (provided that this option is selected for that Activity).
•A user with no Workflow Management rights can only set or change the due date when they finish an Activity, and can then only do so for the next Activity or Activities (provided that this option is selected for the Activity they wish to modify).
This is all well and good, but how/where do I make this change? Does this allow me to change the due date through code? Or is there a place in the interface where I can change it?
My understanding:
When the Workflow task starts, the documentation sounds like the user can change the due date during the Workflow itself, not just from the Visio designer screens. "A user with no Workflow Management rights can only set or change the due date when they finish an Activity, and can then only do so for the next Activity or Activities".
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Allow to override due date
and enter the actual expiration script for a given activity. After saving/updating the Workflow Process definition, authorized authors should get the option to change it in the interface per the documentation. Did you update the Process Definition?
