Deadline workflow

ta

Dear All,

I have created a workflow for deadlines, and I want the user to receive a notification 1 week before the deadline. the class contains these properties: date of creation and date of deadline and I created this workflow:

NO STATE -> submit assignment -> deadline notification

the arrow between submit assignment and deadline notification I created a trigger where if date of deadline is DaysFrom() < 7 and I also added an email notification on the state "deadline notification". is my way correct? or is there an easier way to implement my case?

    And a side note, in larger vaults (100k+ objects) such controls in workflows might fail to finish in time. So, your workflow would miss the timeframe to automatically move to another state. 

    Using a background task written in VAF would ensure the state transition will be done in time.

    That problem can be reduced using Property Calculator, Background Operations to do the state transition rather than the build in automatic state transition in workflows. Property Calculator can be configured to only check the conditions once every night during low activity hours. This will relieve the automatic transition from checking all those objects every hour.
