Scheduled Reminders

Scheduled Reminders allows Editors to determine when reminders are emailed for Review and Revision tasks.

An editor can select:

• Type - Review or Revision
• Run Type - Before or After Type is due
• The number of days Before or After it should run
• The name of the email template that should be used
• The Subject of the email

As many reminders as you like can be created but it is advised that these be kept to a minimum to avoid annoying users too much.

Context

When a reminder email is sent you will have access to a variable called object and it is either a ReviewAssignment or RevisionAssignment object and you can access all associated records ie.

object.article.title or object.due_date etc. for each object type.

Sending

Reminders are sent automatically by the Cron task.
