Setting the "due soon" thresholds
A deadline becomes “Expiring soon” a certain number of days before its expiry date. That lead time is not the same for every deadline: it depends on the criticality you gave it.
| Criticality | Becomes “expiring soon” |
|---|---|
| Critical | 120 days before expiry |
| Important | 90 days before expiry |
| Info | 30 days before expiry |
These are the values offered by default. They suit most businesses, but you can adapt them to yours.
Changing the thresholds
Section titled “Changing the thresholds”- Open Settings from your account menu.
- Go to the “Due soon” threshold section.
- Enter, for each level, the lead time you want in days.
- Click Save.
The Restore defaults button puts the three original thresholds back (120 / 90 / 30). It only takes effect once you click “Save”, so you can use it to compare before deciding.
The effect is immediate
Section titled “The effect is immediate”The change applies at once to all your deadlines, including those already created. Kimori never stores the status: it recalculates it on every display. So there is nothing to redo, no job to run, no waiting.
In practice, if you move the “Important” threshold from 90 to 150 days, important deadlines expiring within the next five months turn orange the next time you open your dashboard.
How to choose?
Section titled “How to choose?”Ask yourself one question: how much time do you need to act?
- A lead time that is too short means you discover the problem when it is already late — no time to get an insurance policy renewed or to schedule an inspection.
- A lead time that is too long keeps everything orange permanently, and the signal stops meaning anything.
Liability insurance is prepared months ahead; a company extract less than three months old is watched over a few weeks. That is exactly why the three levels have distinct thresholds.
