Important information about audience modification and assignments

Scheduled assignments have a Start Date in the future. When you add a user to an audience with a Scheduled assignment, the assignment displays on the user's Assignment page on the Start Date.

Assignments can be set with either a fixed due date or a number of days to complete.

If you choose a fixed due date, everyone in the assigned audience must complete the assignment on that date no matter when they get added to the audience.

If you choose a number of days to complete, then whenever a user gets added to an assigned audience, they have that many days to complete it. The completion date could be different for different users depending on when they received the assignment.

Example:
An assignment has the Number of days to complete set to 30 and a Start Date of September 1.
Jane Doe was part of the original audience, so the assignment started for her on September 1st. Jane's due date is September 30th.
John Doe was added to the audience on September 4th, four days after the assignment's Start Date. John's due date is four days later, on October 4th.
