Completed By field

The Completed By field defaults to the User ID of the person that updated the return to the Step. If the User ID is also recorded as an employee, the employee name will be the default.

Follow-up date

The Follow-up date is the date when action should be taken, or the Return moved to the next step.

The Follow-up date is calculated by adding the Step's duration to the Event Date or Step Date, depending on which one was selected in the control record.
