Specifying activity due dates
About this task
In IBM® Process Portal, tasks are listed according to their due date status. Activity due dates and the projected path are also used to calculate the expected completion time for a process instance.
By default, the due date of a human task is 1 hour from the time of task creation. You can modify this duration for each activity in your process. Administrators can also change the default duration after deployment. If projected path management is enabled for the process, authorized business users can change the due date for individual tasks and the overall process instance in Process Portal.
The calculation of the activity due date is also affected by the working hours that users are available to complete work. The working hours depend on the values that you specify for the time schedule, time zone, and holiday schedule.
