Email reminders

In the Messages and Email Reminders section, the environment administrator can deactivate email reminders. If the function is disabled, users will not be able to set email reminders in their settings and will not receive any reminders on new messages, impending due dates or new results.

Reminder messages

The environment administrator may modify the title and text of the reminder message here. The reminder message can include language versions in Finnish, Swedish, English, and Estonian. Reminders can be previewed and content values can also be returned to the default values.
