Reminder emails for Workflow are now available in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018
Refer to the full BLOG article.
In Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 workflow reminder emails can now be sent to users who have a workflow transaction pending their approval.
A new Option for Reminders will be available under each Workflow Step in the Workflow Maintenance window. (See Screenprint in blog link above.)
Reminder: X Y
--where enter the Amount for X such as '1' and Y is a selection from the drop down list such as 'Hours', in which the user would then get a reminder email 1 hour before the assigned task is due.
Note
This feature is dependent on the SQL Job 'Scan for Workflow Tasks For All Companies (DYNAMICS) to send reminder' which runs once every 15 minutes to send reminder emails. If you are not recieving reminder emails, you will want to make srue that your SQL Server Agent is started.
Table Changes:
New columns were added to the Workflow Step (WF100003), Workflow Step Instance (WFI10003) and Workflow Task (WFI10004) will have a new column "Workflow Status" which will update according to the current workflow status on the transaction.
