What is the Anticipated Fulfillment Date setting? Agencies now have the option to track an Anticipated Fulfillment Date for each request. This is a new date field on the request page that can be entered and updated at any time. This field was designed for Washington reporting requirements, however, it can be used by any agency that needs to track a particular date that is not already tracked automatically. The Anticipated Fulfillment Date can be included as a field in the All Requests Excel export.
