New Automated Email Reminders Introduced for Construction Change Orders

UDA is excited to announce the release of automated reminders for construction Change Orders in ConstructionOnline. Similar to the updated reminders recently introduced for Permits, Selections, RFIs, and Submittals, the new Reminder Settings offer users two core functions: the ability to manage custom email templates and the ability to set up automated reminders for construction Change Orders. 

ConstructionOnline automatically provides 3 default Email Templates for Change Orders:

• Change Order Due Date Upcoming
• Change Order Overdue
• Change Order Due Today

However, the new Reminder Settings allow construction companies to create and manage any number of custom Email Templates for Change Order Reminders. Customization options include Email Subject, Message Copy, Text Style and Format, Hyperlinks, and Custom Autodoc™ Fields. Custom Autodoc Fields automatically populate Email Templates with information sourced from the selected Selections property.

Custom Autodoc Fields currently available for use in Email Templates for automated Change Order Reminders include - 

• Contact Name
• Project Name
• Change Order Number
• Change Order Name
• Change Order Due Date

In addition to managing custom Email Templates, companies using ConstructionOnline for the management of construction Change Orders can now apply custom configuration to Automated Email Reminders. These updated options allow for users to define which Email Templates are sent in specific instances for Change Orders. Companies can set up a variety of different Automated Email Reminders, and they can be easily managed with the simple On/Off toggle available for each reminder’s “Status.” 

Custom configuration options for Automated Email Reminders include - 

• Email Template
• Send Type
• Frequency
• Duration
• Internal and CC: / BCC: Recipients
