Change the due date of a process instance
As the current process instance progresses and process participants complete their tasks, you can modify the process instance due date as issues emerge or as the availability of process participants changes. For example, if process participants are completing their tasks ahead of schedule, you can move the process instance due date up. Conversely, if process participants are not completing their tasks on time, you can push the process instance due date back. When a due date is changed, all users who have tasks from the affected process instance can see the new date in their Inbox.
To change the due date of a process instance, you must have permission
- Go to: My Tasks | Inbox | instancewhose due date you want to change.
- From the process instance details page, click the Change Due Date icon on the toolbar .
-
In the Choose a New Due Date and Time dialog box, specify a new due date and time and then click OK.
Select the Allow changes even if they conflict with the assigned users Work Schedules option if you want to allow date and time changes even if they conflict with the work schedules established for the BPD and its activities in Lombardi Authoring Environment. (See Set the work schedule for a BPD in Lombardi Authoring Environment User Guide for more information.)
- The new date and time are displayed in the Instance Details section of the process instance details page.
Change the due date of a process instance does not affect the due dates of tasks that have not yet been completed. If you change the due date of a process instance, you might also need to change due dates of the remaining tasks. For more information, see Change the due date of a task.
