When the Date condition is assigned to a milestone, you indicate the date the milestone condition will be met. When the milestone application engine process runs and the system date is greater than or equal to the milestone condition date, the milestone condition is automatically updated to Complete. For example, for a milestone Contract Signed with a milestone condition of Date, you indicate the date to be 1/1/2004. When the system date equals 1/1/2004 or greater, the milestone application engine process will update the milestone condition status to Complete as well as the milestone Contract Signed.
