  • On-Call Scheduling includes a scheduled job that checks if any shift members should be notified about upcoming On-Call commitments. Modify the lead time for the reminder to be sent.

    Before you begin

    Role required: rota_manager or rota_admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > On-Call Scheduling > On-Call Calendars.
    2. Right-click the shift and select Edit Shift.
    3. Update the Reminder lead time (days) value for the on-call schedule record or for any of its rosters.
      The reminder lead time defined on a roster is always respected. If no lead time is defined, the instance uses the schedule reminder lead time. If the reminder lead time is not defined for either the schedule or its rosters, then the instance uses a default of 2 days.
      Note:
      The Reminder lead time on the Roster form is different from the # reminders and Time between reminders values in the Escalation Settings section of the form.

      The escalation settings are used only to configure reminders for escalations. The Reminder lead time is in the Reminder Communication section of the Roster form, and is used to email reminders for upcoming on-call commitments.
