Set question specific deadlines in the SRM

Currently, the SRM platform allows deadlines to be set at the overall disclosure, but there is no functionality to assign specific due dates to individual questions within a disclosure. However, many disclosures include multiple questions assigned to different stakeholders across functions and departments, each with its own timeline for data availability, review, or approval. Stakeholders work on different parts of a disclosure based on data readiness, review cycles, or external dependencies (data external assurance)

Without per-question deadlines, it's difficult for central teams to track progress, prioritize reviews, or manage timelines effectively.

    Hi Doaa, thank you for your feedback to help us better understand the user need. We've logged it internally and will be discussing it further with our product and development teams to determine what it would entail. As with all enhancement ideas, we'll evaluate it alongside other strategic priorities to determine if and when it can be added in our roadmap. We'll keep you updated as we learn more.

    Thank you for your recommendation, However, creating multiple disclosures based on deadlines doesn't fully solve the issue for a few key reasons: Splitting one disclosure into several adds extra effort and makes it harder to manage and keep everything aligned, without deadlines at the question level, it's hard for the central team to see which parts are delayed or on track. Additionally, it is not practical long-term, as the number of disclosures grows, managing them this way becomes messy and inefficient. 

    Therefore, are there any clear timelines on when this can be considered/ implemented ?

    Hi @Guest this was previously raised by ADNOC and our advice then is that they can utilize multiple disclosures to group questions based on deadline. So if a subset of a universal disclosure has a review cycle that's sooner, then it can be separated. Will this meet the need?

Enable the ability to set multiple deadlines within a single disclosure, allowing different sections or questions to have their own due dates based on data availability and stakeholder roles.
