1. Go to the settings menu on the left-hand side of your dashboard.
2. Under SLA, click on reminders.
3. The list in front of you includes the 3 default reminders in the system, to create your own reminders, click on new item.
4. The reminder creation screen should look like the following picture. When you are done filling out the fields, click on save.
Each reminder includes the following fields:
- Default: If this box is checked, this means the reminder being created becomes the base-level reminder that applies to all the levels in the problem category if no specific reminders are created.
- Area/Type/sub-type: Reminders can be created for each level in the problem category.
- Priority: A priority level can be assigned to each reminder.
- CAP: The cap/limit that is set on the number of emails that are sent. For example, a cap of 3 means 3 emails will be sent after the reminder starts.
