Diff between PendingDate and Due date?

Hello, Can you tell me, what is difference between 'PendingDate' and 'Due date'? Under what situation, should each one be used ? thanks...

Hi, The pending date is used for the “pending *” status. The Due Date is just another timestamp on the ticket On 04.10.2010, at 23:43, Pradumna Maheshwari wrote:

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.

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

Hi Martin, how are you!
What would be possible is to use the GenericAgent to set a field to
the color you want, this can be a free text field or a 3.1.x-style
DynamicField. You can then use this color in a custom DTL template as
a value to use this color in a certain field.
This would involve the use of DTL, but there would be no Perl involved...
Hope this helps,
Mike.

I haven't had time to try anything yet, but I came to the conclusion that I would be able to handle this via
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!

I have been looking a bit at the GenericAgent, but I don't see where I can match on the Due date? Unless it is the section for custom module, where I suppose you can have more or less anything...? Most of the other ITSM fields are there, but not Due Date... /Martin.

Quoting Juan Manuel Clavero Almirón (juanm.clavero@ibsalut.es):
we use the package TicketOverviewHooked [http://opar.perl-services.de/bin/index.cgi/package/R/RE/RENEEB/TicketOvervie...], to colorize tickets according to their type
Looks very promising. Do you per chance know if there's a version of this for older OTRS versions? Thanks in advance, Susan
