15 Next Due date picker

Use the Date/Time Selector to set the date on which the Treatment must first be completed.(Scheduled) date fieldAfter saving the schedule, a (Scheduled) date is then displayed to the right of the ‘Next Due’ field. This field displays the actual date that the next Task will be due. Quite often, the ‘Next Due’ and ‘Scheduled’ dates will be the same, but when the ‘Next Due’ date falls on a non-business day (e.g. weekend or public holiday) the ‘Scheduled’ date is set to the preceding business day; making the task due slightly earlier.

Tip: If you leave the ‘Next Due’ field blank, the record will be created, but a Task will never be generated. This can be useful if your organisation is not yet ready to start the Task and wants to specify the ‘Next Due’ date at a later time.

16 Last working day of the period selector

Select this checkbox to override the Next Due date to always be the last day of that month.

17 ‘Reminder 1st’ field

Is the number of days before the Treatment due date that the Task will be generated and each ‘Actioned By’ Position notified. If the day the Task is be be generated falls on a non-business day, the task will instead be generated on the first prior business day. This is the day the task will appear in each ‘Actioned By’ Current Tasks list. This is also the day each ‘Actioned By’ position will receive a notification email containing the Task details and when the Task is Due.(Reminder Date) fieldAfter saving the schedule, a (Reminder Date) is then displayed to the right of the ‘Reminder 1st’ field. This field displays the actual date (business day) that the next Task will be generated.

.

18 ‘Reminder 2nd’ field

For Treatments with a long lead time (i.e. 1st Reminder is set to a high number of days), set a lower number of days in the ‘2nd Reminder’ field so that an additional email notification is sent to each ‘Actioned By’ Position before the due date. The same non-working day principle as 1st Reminder applies to this 2nd Reminder.

Tip: Set this field to zero if you don’t want a 2nd Reminder sent for this Treatment.

19 Task Responsibility position selector
