Verifying a deadline against its source
A deadline is only as good as the source it came from, so Cedent keeps deadlines tied to where they originated. When a date matters — and court dates always do — take a moment to confirm it against the source.
Checking a deadline Cedent found
Section titled “Checking a deadline Cedent found”A deadline Cedent read from your email carries a link back to the message behind it. Open the deadline on the calendar and you can see the source email and jump to it, then confirm the date reads the way Cedent recorded it. This is part of Cedent being source-grounded: the calendar entry is a convenience, the email is the record.
Checking a chain deadline
Section titled “Checking a chain deadline”A deadline that Cedent calculated from a hearing — a filing cutoff or a reply date — traces back to that hearing. Open the deadline to find the hearing it depends on, and confirm the hearing date is right; the chain is only as accurate as the date it is built from.
Deadlines you added yourself
Section titled “Deadlines you added yourself”A deadline you entered by hand has no source email to link to. When you add one from a court notice or an order, it helps to note where it came from in the event’s description, so the basis is there when you or a colleague look later.
When the source disagrees
Section titled “When the source disagrees”If the source says something different from the calendar, trust the source and correct the event — see A deadline looks wrong or is missing. If two emails give different dates for the same thing, the source thread is where you settle which is right.
