Due settings

Under Configuration → Due settings, a system administrator defines the due dates for documents and approval tasks, per document type. These settings ensure approvers are reminded of their tasks at the right time.

Note:

These settings are overridden if the due date or task duration is provided by the service the document is sent from. Only a system administrator can change them.

Task due dates

Number of days to complete the task - each approver is given the same number of days to complete their approval. The number of days used by a previous approver has no impact on the next approver.

When the deadline passes, the task is marked as overdue in My tasks and the approver can be reminded by email.

Document due dates

Choose one of the following to define when a document is due:

• Fixed date of the month - the document is due on the same calendar day each month (for example, the 14th). Setting the value to 31 uses the last day of shorter months.
• Number of days after document date - the document is due a fixed number of days after it is received (for example, 21 days).

This configuration is not available for users limited to Visma Document Center; those settings originate in that system.
