That seems quite interesting. Thank you for bringing it to my attention ;)
 
I haven't had time to try anything yet, but I came to the conclusion that I would be able to handle this via <dtl system-call ... > if need be, where I could call a script to convert the due date and the current date to timestamps and return a number of seconds I could do 'ge' or 'lt' operations on.
 
It may not need to come to that now, but my Perl knowledge is unfortunately quite limited.
 
I will peruse this new fountain of knowledge for a bit!

Hi,

we use the package TicketOverviewHooked [http://opar.perl-services.de/bin/index.cgi/package/R/RE/RENEEB/TicketOverviewHooked], to colorize tickets according to their type... maybe you could use it to colorize according to proximity to DueTime

Asunto: [otrs] Svar: Re: Diff between PendingDate and Due date?

 

Are there any plans for making Due date something that can actually be actioned on without needing to code a lot of Perl?

 

Like, for example, a ticket going yellow X days before due date is reached, orange Y days before and red when due date has been missed.

If the case is closed, due date should be ignored, unless reopened.

 

It would lend a nice immediacy to the field that we would very much like here.

 

If not implemented in OTRS as such, is it possible, via <dtl if > or similar, to check how far the due date is from today? If so, I should be able to do the coloring in the templates from there...

 

It would also be nice if you could use Due date as a trigger in the Message (Event) setup...

Regards,

 

/Martin.

Hi,

 

The pending date is used for the “pending *” status.

The Due Date is just another timestamp on the ticket

Hello,

Can you tell me, what is difference between 'PendingDate' and 'Due date'?

Under what situation, should each one be used ?

thanks...
