Met by Default

Indicates whether the requirement is met when it is initially assigned to a user:

• Yes - When the requirement is assigned to a user, it will have a status of Met for the number of days specified in the Delay the Calculation For setting. Having the requirement met by default prevents the user from showing up with a Not Met status and provides the user with a grace period to complete the requirement.

• No - When the requirement is assigned to a user, it will have a status of Not Met. 

Refer to the Requirement Met By Default Example on the Expiration Dates Examples page.
