Due Date

Due Date in Step is the Due Date that will be set to Jira issue when the Process starts. You can set due dates on tasks in your workflows to make sure that everything in your working process is completed due to schedule and nothing falls through the cracks.

Due Date has two options for tasks setting:

  • Dynamic date - automatically set the due time based on the number of days after the trigger is selected.

  • Exact date - a specific due date selected.

Instruction on how to set Due Date

  1. Select the Process Step you want to add a due date to.

  2. Click the Due Date button in the top center of your screen as it is shown below.

  3. Choose the type of Due Date you want to add.
