How does deadline offset work for Department Groups?

When reporting is to be done on a node in the form of a comment/data or when sections of a report are to be marked as complete, you can set a deadline offset. This is configured per periodicity in the administration section () under Periodicities and deadlines. In the Periodicities tab on the right-hand side, you can change deadlines by selecting Edit.

When setting a deadline offset, there are three options to choose from that determine how the offset will function in your Stratsys environment:

• All departments (most common)

• Based on organizational level

• Based on department group

If you choose to base the offset on department groups, you will have the option to specify the number of days for each department group listed under Department groups in the administration section.

What happens if a department belongs to multiple department groups?

If a department belongs to more than one department group, the system will apply the offset from the group with the shortest delay.
