email reminders - minimum time?


keyframe

Recommended Posts

It seems that ftrack wants to send reminders when a user has logged less then 8 hours(i'm assuming this is the quantity specificied in the workday length field).

Is it possible to set the minimum time required to send a reminder without affecting the 'workday length -> hours' exchange rate?

Yes, correct - it will send out if the logged time is < than the workday length. I'm afraid there is no option to set it different from the workday length.

Are there other repercussions to changing the workday length that I might not be thinking of?

if I set the workday length to 1 hour, will anything else untoward happen other then the 1d unit in timesheets?

I'd love to RFE the reminder emails minimum option... reason being is that artist are leery of logging a day of less then 8 hours, even though they might only be working on a tasked job for 2 of those numbers.  They instead end up filling in an 8 hour day on a 2 hour task in lieu of anything else, which makes it difficult to distinguish a non-profitable job from a sales deficiency...

There is a certain "big-brotherness" to these warning emails and timesheets in general, and we all know that usartists can be a sensitive lot ;) 

Thoughts?

There are a few things that depend on the work day length like forecast in Overview, and Bid estimate if you switch between days and hours settings.

Yes, some customers are not comfortable with these automatic reminders so you can always turn them off and use reports to see if you should remind someone "manually".
