In DocBoss, there are a number of topics concerning the issue of dates and how they are treated in DocBoss. For example, we distinguish between Due Dates and Expected Dates of documents, one issue we will discuss in detail below.

Here are 6 articles we have published on the DocBoss Support website that discuss various aspects of how dates are treated:

  • Initial Submission Dates – When creating a new Project, the initial submission dates (original scheduled dates) are set by default to 10 days after order date indicated in Main.

  • Set Date Format – Date formatting can be set in Docboss in three places: On specific projects, on project templates and for the whole system. Here’s how to use each case.
  • Due Date & Expected Date – This article discusses the definition of a document’s Due Date and its Expected Date.

  • Template-Specific Date Formatting – For any template variables including dates, the formatting of the date will default to the date format chosen for the project. This article explains how to adjust it.

  • Reference Date Abbreviation Definitions – This article lists all abbreviations of date-related definitions so you can see all possible options i.e. After shipment, Before shipment, etc.

  • Update Previous Submittal Dates – Users can update previously submitted documents submittal dates. This article shows how to accomplish this.
