Notices, deadlines and calendar

Understand the difference between a notice and a deadline, set the due date from a movement with a suggested calculation and see hearings and deadlines on the calendar.

Each new case movement arrives as a notice. It only becomes a deadline, with a due date and alerts, when the lawyer sets the due date.

​

When to use

• When receiving a movement that opens a deadline.
• To have hearings and due dates on the team calendar.

​

Notice or deadline

	Notice	Deadline
What it is	Recorded movement, with the date it happened.	Due date confirmed by the lawyer.
Generates a due-date alert	No	Yes
Goes to the calendar	No	Yes

Notfy does not guess deadlines on its own. It suggests the calculation, and you confirm it, because the judge’s decision and local holidays can change the date.

Hearings come from the court with the actual date and enter the calendar automatically.

​

Set a deadline

1. Open the case

   In the customer record, Legal Processes tab, locate the case.

2. Click Set Deadline

   Choose the Set Deadline action.

3. Choose the movement

   Under Movement, select the one that generated the deadline. The system reads the text and suggests the notice date, the days and the due date. When it identifies the days on its own, Automatically detected appears.

4. Check the data

   Review Notice date, Deadline (days) and Deadline due date. The Suggested calculation box explains the math: counting in business days, national holidays and the judicial recess.

5. Confirm

   Click Set deadline. Deadline set appears and the event is created on the calendar.

The calculation considers national holidays. Local holidays can change the date, so check with the court before confirming. If the movement text does not state the number of days, enter the days or type the due date directly.

​

Case calendar

On the case row, View Events on Calendar lists the events linked to it.

• Mark as Complete when fulfilled, or Reopen if needed.
• Use Insert New Event to create a manual event or task, with title, description, start date and time and, if you wish, end. If Google Calendar is connected, the event also goes there. Otherwise, it stays only on the Notfy calendar.

Events appear under the name of the case owner, on the calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the notice generate a due-date alert?

Because there is no due date yet. Use Set Deadline to turn it into a deadline.

Can I change a deadline that is already set?

Yes. Use Set Deadline again on the movement and confirm the new date. The calendar event follows the change.

Is the deadline always calculated in business days?

The suggestion follows the CPC (Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure) rules for business days, with a recess from December 20 to January 20. You can always adjust the due date.
