<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nIn this lesson, we’re going to introduce you to not one, but three awesome features – Dynamic Due Dates, Stop Tasks & Conditional Logic. We’re going to cover:<\/p>\n
Estimated time for this lesson ~ 15 minutes per feature<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n This lesson is part of our onboarding program. Find out more about what you’ll learn from the program when you’re getting started<\/a>.<\/p>\n The steps below outline how to add these features from scratch, but there’s a quicker way! Discover how Process AI<\/a> can generate extra details in your workflows with just a few clicks.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dynamic Due Dates<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n There are a few different ways to set stand-alone\u00a0due dates on tasks<\/a>, on whole workflow runs or in scheduled workflow runs,<\/a>\u00a0however, these<\/em> due dates as their name suggests are.. dynamic! You can use Dynamic Due Dates<\/a> to be based on other parts of your workflow run, like dates from form fields<\/a>, the date the workflow run was started, or from other tasks within the workflow run. So if you have tasks that are interlinked with the start or completion of another task, you’ll want to consider using this feature.<\/p>\n Say you’re hiring a new team member<\/a> and you want to follow up on their offer letter to check that they have responded. You can set the date that the offer was sent out on one task, and then set a dynamic due date on the follow-up task, to be due one week after the date the offer was sent out. Streamlined processes, great!<\/p>\n Stop Tasks<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Stop Tasks<\/a> can perform a number of different functions which will help optimize your processes. They allow you to add a pause to your workflow, to enforce the order that tasks are completed in, to manage when notifications<\/a> get sent to someone assigned to a task<\/a>, or to add a review or approval stage (which is great, but you may want to start using our Approvals<\/a> feature which was designed specifically for this!) Use stops in any or all of the ways described, to enable your workflow runs to behave in a way that suits your specific business model.<\/p>\n If you have a process that needs completing in a set order, you can multi-select tasks and add stops to all the tasks, thereby enforcing the order that the workflow run is completed in. No more missing out or skipping tasks before a workflow run is completed! Winner.<\/p>\n
