    Changed in this release

    Email redirection behavior for links in major on-call schedule email notification
    In all major on-call schedule or shift email notifications, you can now decide where the links to an on-call schedule or shift record are redirected. Instead of an on-call schedule or shift record automatically opening in the classic UI16 interface in On-Call Scheduling, the record can be opened in SOW. The on-call schedule or shift record link in an email notification opens in SOW only if the following conditions are met:
    • The Redirect SOW Email notification (sow_email_notification_redirect) property is set to true.
    • The Redirect SOW Email notification for On-call scheduling (sow_email_notification_redirect.on_call) property is set to true.
    • You have the sn_sow_user role.

    The ITSM Notifications Redirection (com.snc.itsm.notifications_redirection) plugin is installed and activated automatically to support this behavior.
