Each activity in the Process Timeline can have unique time limit/due date options. Process Director runs as a virtual directory in IIS and processes all time related events like due dates when activity is present on the system (e.g. a login).

To force this activity checking more often, you can schedule a command in the Windows Scheduler.

Due Date Is

This specifies a due date for this activity. The activity due date is optional. If an activity does not complete by the due date specified it can automatically transition to the next activity in the Process Timeline. The due date can also be used to prioritize items in a user’s Task List.

Set Due Date to Form Field

This will enable the user to specify a due date on the form using a Date Picker for that activity in the Process Timeline process.

If Time Limit Expires

If the time limit (due date) passes before this activity is complete these are the actions that can be taken. This dropdown will display different items in the User activity type and the Wait activity type.
