Chasing what is owed
One sitting that clears a morning of follow-ups, grouped by who you are chasing.
Open a chase run in MetaOpusA chase run is everything owed right now, grouped by the person or company being chased rather than by submission — because chasing four things with one vendor is one message, not four.
- Open the runFrom Submissions, press Chase run. Everything owed right now is gathered into one sitting, grouped by who is being chased.
- Work down the groupsEach group shows what is owed and how long it has been waiting — and lateness is measured against that vendor's own answering time, not a fixed number of days.
- Send, or say why notEither way it lands on the submission's timeline against your name, so the next person to look knows it was a decision rather than an oversight.
Today shows the same work from the other direction: what is waiting on you this morning, one item at a time.
Frequently asked
What if I do not want to chase one of them?
Mark why not. It comes off the run and the reason goes on that submission's timeline, so the next person to look knows it was a decision rather than an oversight.
Does it send anything on its own?
No. Nothing leaves MetaOpus without somebody here pressing send. The run assembles the work and the draft; the sending is yours.
How is this different from Today?
Same records, different intent. Today decides what matters this morning across everything. A chase run works through the chases themselves, in one sitting.
