Duration variables

Duration variables control time-based behavior for a user task. Collibra generates two duration variables for each user task:

• <task id>DueDate, which shows a due date to the user when the task is presented for information purposes only.

• <task id>EscalationDuration, which sets the time before the task escalates through the out-of-the-box Escalation Process workflow.

Both variables use the ISO 8601 duration format for their values, for example PT2H30M for a duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Collibra also supports business day durations. To denote a business day duration, use B instead of P, for example B7D for 7 business days or B20D for 20 business days. Business day durations do not take weekends into account. If a business day duration ends on a weekend, the duration ends on the first weekday after the weekend.
