Manage how your status board warnings are displayed based on time passed or time left. For example you may have a volunteer or employee that forgot check back into the incident via the Incident Management account. Another example is you have a piece of equipment that needs to be checked on every 10 hours, but no-one has had time to check it in the last day.

For these types of status boards, we have functions to automatically turn the row into warning or danger mode, without any action from the user.

Item date function expressions allow you to specify what color a row within a status board should be based on what is entered into a date and time field.
