Set Up Reminders

Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

We have set a level of attention which will be seen on the manager’s Notifications Dashboard view, but we can also set up a reminder which can be sent if a request is not approved or rejected in a specified time.

 

There is no limit to the number of reminders you can set up. You can even escalate to a different person, position or group if the instance is still not dealt with after several reminders.

1.On the same Notify command, click Add.
2.On the General tab:
For Title, enter Reminder of request waiting.
For Attention Level, select High attention.
For Role, select Manager.
3.The Person tab may remain unchanged.
4.Click the Time tab.
5.Select After a fixed period and select 1 working day.
6.The Cancellation tab may remain unchanged.
7.In the Message tab, use the same settings and text which was used in the previous notification message, but add in some text to show that it is a reminder.
8.Be sure to leave the Send by email option turned on. Because this is a reminder it is worth also sending the notification by e-mail.

Note: If you are confident that your users will access the Notifications Dashboard to get their notifications then you can reserve e-mail notifications for important instances and reminders. If a user is bombarded with e-mail notifications there is always a chance that more important notifications can go unnoticed.


9.Click OK.
