Introduction
The Approval and User Input steps can be configured to have a due date either after a specified delay, or on a specific date.

Note: If the form has a date field, then the date field option will be available as shown in the screenshot above. This allows steps to expire before or after the date specified in the value of a date field.
The color option allows you to define if the step should be highlighted on Inbox views when the entry is past its due date.
