Tasks with a defined lead time often need to be generated from these. If scheduling is done manually, it creates additional maintenance effort and potential sources of error.<\/p>\n<p><b>The GreenGate solution automatically calculates a task\u2019s due date based on a date property of the linked object, creating a task with an automatic due date. The required lead or lag time is defined in the script and can be adjusted flexibly.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This ensures tasks are created consistently and automatically become due at the right time.<\/p>\n<p><b>Typical use cases include, for example<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Onboarding new employees<\/li>\n<li>Commissioning technical systems, new equipment, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The benefits of creating and using automatic due dates for tasks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatic calculation of task due dates based on object data, without requiring manual date calculations<\/li>\n<li>Standardised, traceable scheduling with fewer input errors<\/li>\n<li>Flexible adjustment of lead or lag time, reusable for a wide range of business processes<\/li>\n<li>Easy implementation via standard task management functions, increasing process reliability through automated scheduling control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>GS-Service: Create task with due date x weeks before date in object property<\/h2>\n<p><strong>As an example application, onboarding new employees can be used. When a new employee object is created in GS-Service, an onboarding task is created automatically<\/strong>. The \u201cstart date\u201d is captured as an object property on the employee object and forms the basis for the due date of the onboarding task.<\/p>\n<p>The script automatically calculates the due date of the onboarding task as 14 days before the start date, so that all preparatory activities\u2014such as providing a workstation, IT equipment or access permissions\u2014can be completed in time. This way, you can welcome your new employees with ease.<\/p>\n<p>The same approach can be used for any other processes where tasks are to be scheduled relative to an event date.<\/p>\n<h2>Typical areas of use for tasks with automated due dates<\/h2>\n<p>The solution is suitable across industries for all organisations that control time-based tasks using object properties.<\/p>\n<h3>Industries<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Industrial companies<\/li>\n<li>Energy suppliers<\/li>\n<li>Municipal utilities<\/li>\n<li>Facility management<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare<\/li>\n<li>Public administration<\/li>\n<li>Service companies<\/li>\n<li>HR management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Software used<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>GS-Manager (desktop application)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li>GS-Designer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Reference customer<\/h3>\n<p>GreenGate AG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can <strong>recurring processes be managed based on events<\/strong> and tasks be made available for processing in good time? By using the option in GS-Service to automatically schedule tasks based on a date in an object property.<\/p>\n<p>In many business processes, due dates are based on a defined date of an object. These dates typically include the start date of new employees, their contract start, as well as fixed commissioning dates for machines and systems, including equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of calculating and entering due dates manually, <strong>scheduling in GS-Service is automated via a script within the task definition.<\/strong> In the use case shown, an onboarding task is created automatically when a new employee object is created. The due date is calculated from the \u201cstart date\u201d object property and set to 14 days before work begins. This ensures all preparatory activities are available in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10059,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[69,63,67,61,68],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-10053","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-facility-management","product_cat-industry","product_cat-municipal-utilities","product_cat-power-generators","product_cat-service-providers","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Automatic task due dates \u2013 GS-Service - GreenGate AG<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Automatically schedule tasks in GS-Service: automatic task due dates, e.g. for onboarding or commissioning systems.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greengate.de\/en\/produkt\/automatic-task-due-dates\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Automatic task due dates \u2013 GS-Service - GreenGate AG\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Automatically schedule tasks in GS-Service: automatic task due dates, e.g. for onboarding or commissioning systems.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greengate.de\/en\/produkt\/automatic-task-due-dates\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"GreenGate AG\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-11-04T14:22:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.greengate.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Produktbild-AutomatischeAufgabenfaelligkeit-3.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/\",\"name\":\"Automatic task due dates \u2013 GS-Service - GreenGate AG\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/09\\\/Produktbild-AutomatischeAufgabenfaelligkeit-3.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-09-09T15:11:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-11-04T14:22:58+00:00\",\"description\":\"Automatically schedule tasks in GS-Service: automatic task due dates, e.g. for onboarding or commissioning systems.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/en\\\/produkt\\\/automatic-task-due-dates\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/09\\\/Produktbild-AutomatischeAufgabenfaelligkeit-3.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.greengate.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/09\\\/Produktbild-AutomatischeAufgabenfaelligkeit-3.jpg\",\"width\":1200,\"height\":800,\"caption\":\"Interview, woman or people in office with handshake for recruitment, financial agreement or contract.
