MDGP 2018 RTM Feature of the Day: New Workflow Functionality – Reminder Emails

Microsoft Dynamics GPThe Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM, as the most recent versions have been, these posts are in the form of PowerPoint slides; I am reposting them here so they can be read more easily as well as adding my own commentary.

The series index for this series of posts is here.

The eighth Feature of the Day is new Workflow functionality; I am going to break this feature down into three posts, as the three features included by Microsoft are, while all Workflow enhancements, unrelated to one another.

The first of the new functionality, are reminder emails. Reminder emails can be configured on a per step basis in a similar way to the Time Limit:

Workflow Maintenance

The reminder email which is sent, is the same one (same Message ID) as the standard notification email with a reminder comment:

Reminder Email

I think this is a valuable additionmto Workflow, although it needs to be handled with some caution to avoid swamping users with emails (the same as the notification emails themselves).
