Dynamic Due Dates for Assignments
Learn how to create assignments with dynamic due dates in Security Journey. Dynamic due dates automatically calculate each learner’s deadline based on when they are enrolled in the assignment.
Dynamic Due Date Assignments
Dynamic due dates allow you to set a completion window based on when a learner is enrolled in an assignment.
Instead of assigning the same due date to all learners, you can specify how many days each learner has to complete the training after they are added.
With dynamic due dates, you can:
• Set how many days learners have to complete training
• Automatically calculate due dates based on when a learner is enrolled
• Simplify long-term training programs such as onboarding or role-based training
Each learner’s due date is calculated individually based on the settings you configure.
When to Use Dynamic Due Dates
Dynamic due dates work best for training programs where learners may be enrolled at different times.
Common use cases include:
• New hire onboarding programs
• Role-based training paths
• Ongoing compliance training
• Assignments triggered by learner attributes or rules
Because learners may join at different times, each learner receives a personalized due date based on their enrollment date.
Example: How Dynamic Due Dates Work
Example assignment configuration:
Completion window: 30 days
Learner A added: March 1 → Due March 31
Learner B added: March 15 → Due April 14
Each learner receives the same number of days to complete the assignment, but the due date is calculated based on their individual enrollment date.
