Sending Follow Up Notifications (Reminders)
A reminder notification can be sent if the notification event is still true after a period of time. For example, a reminder can be sent if a step is still eligible after a number of days. A reminder cannot be sent if the notification event is set to All.
Note: If you have installed and enabled the Mobility Access add-on, you can configure notifications for decision steps to be acted on by PPM Center users from their email inboxes. For details, see PPM Mobility Access.
