Sorry I don't speak english very well, I used google translate.

I'm participating in promotions and the rules are focused on: a number of chances per month (say 4) and a limit of one chance per day. There are many such activities, so I want to manage them through MLO. I have tried several methods, but they are all flawed. Do you have any good suggestions?

I tried "Complete subtasks in order", the problem is that in the Widget interface I can't quickly know if a group of tasks has been completed that day - it will continue to be displayed on the interface (after the previous task is completed, the next one will naturally appear, sometimes I wonder if I completed it today).

Then I try to add dependencies for each subtask and set the delay to 1 day, the problem is that the delay time is 24H, and I expect it to be 1 natural day (for example, the first task is completed at 20:00 on the 1st, and only after 20:00 on the 2nd can see the second task on the widget).

Here is my best idea (but not very good).

 

  1. Create a project
  2. Make the start be 9/1st and the end be 9/30th
  3. Each subtask is 1 chance and there are 30 of them.
  4. Create a delay of 1
  5. For each and every sub-task, make it dependent on the preceding sub-task

 

 

This way, if they cast a vote, it is 1 day before another is available. After 30 days, the due date is past and all subtasks are red. 

 

NOTE TO DWIGHT:

Dwight, I LOVE this guy 😊!!! This is a perfect – repeat perfect – example of why the dependency AND delay should implicitly default to the preceding sub-task.  Who wants to create 30 dependencies?  No one.

 

Take Care,
