Update Task Due Dates

Esper automatically assigns due dates to each task in a workflow based on the configured standard workflow timeline. Following the creation of a rulemaking, there are several scenarios in which the original due dates associated with a task will need to be changed. You can change due dates on a single-task basis with options to shift task dates for all subsequent tasks or the whole project. 

Updating Due Dates

To change a due to date: 

  • From the Workspace, in the left-hand side bar click on Rulemakings under your department name. 
  • Use the icons to expand the rulemaking and stage until the tasks are visible
  • Click Edit next to the due date of the task that needs to be modified.
