Due Date Types

Tasks support three types of due dates:

• Fixed date — a specific calendar date you set manually

• Relative to critical date — calculated as X days before or after a linked critical date (updates automatically if the critical date changes)

• Relative to another task — calculated as X days before or after a linked task's due date

Using relative due dates is powerful for practice-area workflows — if a hearing date shifts, all tasks linked to it update automatically.

Business days: You can set the offset to count in business days (skipping weekends and England & Wales bank holidays) rather than calendar days.
