Configuring the Deadlines Page

After you install Deadlines integration, you must create and add the Deadlines page to a matter or project.

Note: Use the Available Updates section of the About page to install. For more information about how to install, refer to Viewing Information About Available Updates

The Deadlines page of a project record is the page where you create deadlines for that specific record and where you can also assign tasks and appointments to those deadlines. Typically, you add this page to a matter, but you can also add it to a project object.
