Split the deadlines by owner, jurisdiction or law
Group a week or month of deadlines by duty, assignee, jurisdiction or law and framework, and start a projected deadline early.
Screenshots are retaken from IQ Entities on every release. Updated 14 October 2026.
Different people ask about the same deadlines in different ways. A team leader wants to know who carries the load next month; a regional counsel wants only their jurisdiction; a compliance lead wants everything a particular law requires. The Forecast's Timeline tab groups any week or month of deadlines the way the question is asked.
| The question | Group by |
|---|---|
| What has to be filed, and for how many companies | Duty |
| Who is doing what, and who has too much | Assignee |
| What falls due in one country or state | Jurisdiction |
| What a law or framework requires of the group | Law & framework |
Choose the period
Open Forecast. The Timeline tab opens on the current week.
Click a bar on Deadlines per week to choose that week. Each bar splits into open tasks, projected deadlines and annual reviews. With a horizon of 12 or 18 months, the bars are months.
Group it
The list under the chart shows the chosen period, grouped by duty. Open Group by.
Choose Duty, Assignee, Jurisdiction or Law & framework.
Each group shows how many entities it covers, a bar splitting its open tasks from its projected deadlines, and the dates it spans. A red badge counts any overdue. Click a group to open it.
Read the deadlines in a group
An open task shows its entity, due date, status and assignee; click its name to open it. A projected deadline has a dashed edge and the label Projected. Click the information button beside the label to learn when its task will be raised.
The explanation names the day the task will be created. Where the deadline can be started now, it says to use Create now.
Create now on a projected deadline raises its task straight away and opens it, for work you want to start before the reminder period.
A projected deadline can also carry Depends on previous filing, when its date is counted from a filing not yet made, or Unknown after this, when later dates cannot be worked out until something is recorded or the registrar sets them.
Tips from practice
- Grouping by Assignee before a holiday shows whose deadlines need covering. Projected deadlines have no assignee yet, so they are grouped apart.
- Jurisdiction is where the duty is owed: the jurisdiction of the registration it comes from, such as a foreign qualification, or else the entity's own. England and Scotland are separate jurisdictions, so English and Scottish companies show as two groups.
- Choosing another period or grouping closes any open group, so open the one you need again.
- To see which entities carry the most late work, use By entity; see Deal with overdue deadlines.
