Using Email Reminder Forms in RecordsManager

How does it work?

Reminder forms are used to define email reminders that will be sent to users from your app. Reminders are also visible on the app home page when users start your app.

RecordsManager apps automatically generate the body of an email based on the design of the form. The form contains a table within which the design is structured. You can add columns and rows to the table, as well as tables within individual cells of tables.

You can configure relevant fields to be hyperlinked in the reminder email so end users can open a record directly from the email itself.

During reminder definition, the admin selects which end user roles will receive which reminders.

Selecting fields to include in the reminder email:

Email reminders will be sent based on the rules defined above. For those reminder emails you can define exactly what information the email should include about each record that triggered a reminder. Select the fields – as you would do for any other forms in RecordManager – and apply formatting as you see fit. You can also designate a field to be a hyperlink to your online RecordsManager solution. That way, the person receiving the reminder email can simply click that link and will immediately be brought to that particular record in a browser window.
