Survey Due Dates

Each site survey can have an optional Due Date — the date the survey needs to be completed by. Surveys with due dates show overdue/due-today badges on both the organiser table and the contractor mobile app, and the contractor's list auto-sorts so the most urgent surveys appear first.

A survey counts as overdue until it has been reviewed — a survey that was submitted after its due date but is still waiting on your review keeps its overdue badge, and is counted as overdue on the event Overview, the survey dashboard and Org Overview. Once you review it, the badge clears.

The mechanics are the same as sign due dates — read that article for badge colour rules and what contractors see.

Setting a survey due date

1. Open the event and go to the Surveys tab.
2. Click New survey (or open an existing survey and click Edit).
3. Pick a date in the Due date field, or use a quick-pick chip.
4. Click Save.

Surveys without a due date are fine — the field is optional.

Filtering and sorting

In the surveys table you can filter by Overdue / Due today / Due this week / Due this month / No due date, and the Due column is sortable.

What happens when a survey is converted to a sign

When you convert a completed survey to a sign, the survey's due date is not carried across. The new sign starts without a due date — the install-by deadline is a separate decision from the survey-by deadline. Set a sign due date manually after conversion if you want one.

Permissions

Organisers (owner, admin, member) can set or change due dates. Contractors see them as read-only on their app.
