task Escalation

Top  Previous  Next
Kontinuum allows you to set an escalation event upon a certain time condition being met
These events allow Designers to re-assign a task to a different end User or send an email notifying someone of the delay
Events are scheduled to run after a time based calculation is met
First pick your reference time or Start Time, this is either when the task first became available or when the task is due
Next pick the amount of time before or after this date
For example:  If you want to escalate a task 1 day after its due date, select Due Date from the Start Point, Day from the Time Unit and 1 from the Time Amount
The Escalation Rule should be a list of end Users or User Types that the task will be re-assigned to
For example: [Gary][Finance] would re-assign the task to Gary's and members of the Finance User Types
This task will also appear in their individual Task Lists
The Escalation rule should be in Kontinuum Series Format
The syntax for the Email Rule is: [Body Text][Subject Text][Recipient list]

When do Escalations Run?

The WebandFlo2005Escalate.exe program is set up to run from your http://<webandflosite>/bin directory
Use the Windows Scheduler to determine when and how often you want to run WebandFlo2005Escalate.exe
When running this program it scans all the escalation events and if any of them have become true it either sends the email, reassigns the task or both
