Auto-remind

Introduction

Functions

Automatic reminders for handling a node within a time limit refer to workflow reminders that are initiated after a certain period.

Application Scenarios

If a supervisor needs to approve a workflow within one hour after the workflow is initiated, the system will send a reminder at a fixed time (for example, send a reminder 45 minutes after the workflow is initiated). Therefore, a workflow backlog can be avoided as the supervisor will approve it within one hour after setting the automatic reminders.

There may be workflows that are missed in the work. It requires the system to remind the approver of pending workflows within a fixed time to prevent missing the workflows and thus delaying the work.

Setting Procedure

Where to Set

Take Purchasing Applications as an example and click Edit to design the form.

Click Workflow, select a task node that needs to be set, and click Advanced > Set Actions.

Node Processing Due Time

When designing a workflow, you can set a node processing due time for any workflow node (excluding the start node, end node, and CC Node). For details, see Node Due Time and Overdue Action.

You can set a custom time in Overdue Actions. The workflow reaches the node one minute later to perform subsequent actions.

Setting Processing Method

Click OK after setting Overdue Action Settings and click Save.

Finally, click Save in the upper right corner and return to the app page.

Preview

Click the form you just set and submit a workflow record.

In My Tasks, the Node Approver can view how much time is left before Node Due Time.

After waiting for one minute, the recipient will receive a reminder.
