Inactivity Monitor Schedule

I have a requirement to send out weekly notifications for Incidents that have been open more that 30 days.

I have built am Inactivity Monitor rule but I can't get it only run weekly, It run every few hours.

 

Where can I set the rule only run once a week?

Unfortunately, if there are two inactivity monitor defined with same set of conditions then only one can execute with lowest order defined. You can't make both execute. This is how system is designed. At least this is what servicenow doc says.

Hi @John H1 ,

 

Did you try Wait field, you can specify days in it :

Thanks for the quick response. Since I'm still testing in DEV I did set the "Wait" for 1 day and still getting notifications being sent every two hours.

Could you please confirm if you have just one inactivity monitor defined on your table ? In case if there are multiple, then only one with lowest order will take the precedence and will execute. May be this is what is happening.

There are two Inactivity Monitors (one is OOB) with the two hour wait.

Is there a way to have two (possibly set the execution order) or do I need to looks for another solution?

Appreciate the assistance.
