New Automated Email Reminders Introduced for Construction Punch Lists

UDA is excited to announce the release of automated reminders for construction Punch Lists in ConstructionOnline. Similar to the updated reminders recently introduced for Permits, Selections, Change Orders, 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 Punch Lists. 

ConstructionOnline automatically provides 3 default Email Templates for Punch Lists:

• Punch List Due Date Upcoming
• Punch List Overdue
• Punch List Due Today

However, the new Reminder Settings allow construction companies to create and manage any number of custom Email Templates for Punch List 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 Punch List property.

Custom Autodoc Fields currently available for use in Email Templates for automated Punch List Reminders include - 

• Contact Name
• Project Name
• Punch List Name
• Punch List Item Name
• Punch List Due Date

In addition to managing custom Email Templates, companies using ConstructionOnline for the management of construction Punch Lists 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 Punch List Items. 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
