Task Deadline Scores
- Upper Band (%);
- Score;
- Exempt Hours; and
- Max Scores.
For each of these fields, you can set the number of days as well as the threshold percentage, according to your company requirements.
Task Deadline Scores
For Task Deadline Scores, the scores work slightly different.
You can see an ‘Upper Band %’ and a ‘Score’ block next to each band percentage.
The band percentage considers when the task was logged, and how many hours or days lapsed before the deadline changes were made. It then assigns a score for each band.
For example, if a task was logged and the deadline change occurred within a day of the task being logged, you will get a score of 1 whereas if the task deadline was changed within 100% of the band limit, meaning on the day the task was due, you will receive a score of 8.
You can also put in an exempt rule. When a deadline is changed within 24 hours of the task being logged, no score will be given. You can also set a maximum score to be assigned.
