Users can prioritize work or set deadlines for other users to complete experiments, by setting a Due Date. When adding an experiment, users can set the due date by selecting the option Set Experiment Due Date, click Create to add the experiment with the specified due date.
The due date is displayed in the experiment's header. As the due date approaches, the date formatting will change to alert collaborators of the upcoming deadline. Users can click on the Edit icon to change or clear the due date from the experiment.
On the Dashboard, users can filter experiments by the experiment due date to see which experiments should be completed with priority.
The experiment due date is also listed in the Experiment Browser and the Experiment List.
The eLabNext Development team is currently working on integrating a notification system that will send reminders about upcoming deadlines based on set due dates.
