It's important that i get a fast response on this :( ID: 32496 ·

It is needed for tactical purposes. Also, it will not be used to force any WUs to be returned after their deadline. ID: 32499 ·

I need an efficient way to do this without effecting other projects, that could hold completed tasks for a few days. ID: 32501 ·

It'll want to upload any work that's done immediately (as long as it has network availability) and report it before the deadline. ID: 32502 ·
