New feature: Reminders in Activities
Few months ago, we implemented a new notification system better integrated with the applications layout. Today, we are launching a new feature that will complement this notification system and improve the usability of the AppShore offering.
Reminders are triggered are the user's demand ahead the start of an upcoming activity. Reminders can be trigeered minutes, hours, days or weeks before the upcoming activity. Two kind of reminders are available:
- Email reminder
- Popup reminder
Email reminder will send an email to the user's email address defined in his profile. Email reminders are sent once.
Popup reminder will raise a standard notification box with an activite link pointing toward the related activity. A Popup reminder will appear until the user dismiss it. To dismiss a popup reminder, user must click the X on the right side of the notification box or set to blank the reminder in the activity form.
To handle reminders in an activity, two new fields have been added to the Edit and View forms.
Also in Activities > Preferences, the user can set default values to these reminders.
Reminders will be extended to other applications shortly.
