Calucation value for User Defined Properties

Hi, 

  

  As request, I re-post here. 

 

  I'm working on a new Vault implementation project. I added some UDPs.  

 

  ClientID = List of (3,4,5)

  StartDate = Change Order Open Date

 

  now I'm wondering if this possible:

 

  I like to have a new UDP: DueDate which 

  if ClientID = 3, then DueDate = StartDate+5 Working Day;

  if ClientID = 4, then DueDate = StartDate+10 Working Day;

  if ClientID = 5, then DueDate = StartDate+15 Working Day;

 

  if not possible out of box, how about programming? 

 

 

 

Thank you, 

Wes

There are some custom programming options for doing what you want....

 

Option 1: Custom Command

Create a custom command which does the opration exactly how you want it done.  For example, you can create your own Start Change Order command which puts the CO in the open state and sets the appropriate due date.  The trick is to get your Vault users to use the custom command instead of the default command.

 

Option 2: Custom Job Handler

Use the Job Server to set the due date in response to state changes.  This is nice because the software only has to be installed in one place, and it doesn't alter any existing user workflows.  The downside is that it's asynchronous.
