Days ahead
Days ahead refers to the number of days added to the current date when a work permit is created. Customers often don't want a work permit to start the same day it is created, but maybe the next day or in 2 days time.
You can configure a default Days ahead value to automatically put in this delay, although user will still have the ability to manually change the starting date of a work permit.
