Introduction

FastDraft can incorporate the following Secondary dates into your contract:

• Sectional Dates
• Key Dates

There are also some Secondary dates which cannot be added manually, but are auto-generated as you use the platform:

• Task Order Dates (split between Start and Completion dates)
• Project Order Dates (split between Start and Completion dates)
• Defects Date

In order for the functionality to work, Secondary Dates must be switched on via the Contract Overview and preferably upon creation of the contract. Be aware that this must be switched on for NEC TSC contracts in order for the dates to be populated when Task Orders are created.

How to Add/Edit Secondary Dates

Under Contract on the left hand panel click on Other dates.

You can now enter the details of your Secondary Dates. After clicking on the plus sign on the right hand side of the page, a new pop-up window is displayed where details of the new date to be added can be entered.

• Description
• Type
• Date

In principle these dates should only be adjusted via FastDraft functionality, but in practice these are sometimes entered incorrectly. Depending on the User level (Super User and above), there is the ability to Update and Delete the rows on the list. There are also columns that record the Last Amend Date and Last Amend Reference. These columns show the date the Secondary Date was changed, and any notification associated with the Secondary Date. The Secondary Date cannot be amended or deleted if there is an associated notification as shown below.
