Use a date event to monitor a date field for an object and have the workflow provider (for example, CA Process Automation) notify you that an important date is approaching or has passed. Date events are based on the value that is stored in a specific date field (default and extended fields), and the notification from the workflow provider provides an advanced warning to alert someone to complete a follow-up task. The date on which a user is notified about the upcoming or passed event is based on the field value for the object and the information that you specify when you define the event, including the Days After value.
CA APM lets you define one or more date events for a single field.
Note: As a rule, events are not triggered (and notifications are not sent) for field changes that happened before the event was defined. An exception to this rule occurs for date events. If the notification date occurs after the event was defined, an event is triggered (and a notification is sent) even if the field change happened before the event was defined.
Example: Define a Date Event to Terminate a Legal Document
In this example, a contract negotiator must review contracts thirty days before they expire. You define a date event on the Terminate Date field for a legal document. For example, when the contract manager adds a legal document for which the termination date is 3/31/2010, a notification is sent to the appropriate person on 3/1/2010.
