To ensure that no incidents are overlooked, you can set up reminders that appear in the notification tray of all incident recipients at regular intervals until the incidents are closed.

What you should know

  • You must have the Add incident reminders privilege to configure reminders in the Incident monitoring task.
  • Incidents with a reminder configured are flagged with a bell () icon in the incident list.
  • Only one reminder can be configured per incident.
  • If you have the Modify/delete reminders privilege, you can modify or delete a reminder that has already been configured.
  • Reminders can also be configured in the incident automation workflow so that they are always automatically added under the same conditions.

Procedure

To add a reminder to an incident:

  1. In the Incident monitoring task, right-click an incident and then click Add a reminder.

Example

If you have a door malfunction incident, and the repair is going to take several days, you can set up a daily reminder that triggers a door inspection incident to remind yourself to expect a status report from the maintenance personnel every day.

You can set the door inspection incident to trigger a reminder every day at 3:00 pm. You can close the door inspection incident when you receive the report from the maintenance personnel. You can close the door malfunction incident when the door is repaired, ending the daily door inspection reminders.
