Acknowledgements allows requesting users receiving notifications to enter information regarding the expiration that generated the notification.
When acknowledgments are enabled, all notifications will include a link at the bottom that when clicked will pop up a form where the user can enter information like:
Answer a question with a yes or no
The new expiration date
View files in the expiration
Add new files for the expiration
This way the user can self serve and keep the information up to date. This form is mobile friendly and works on the majority of mobile phones.
Enabling Acknowledgements for Categories
To enable acknowledgements at the category level, edit the category and on acknowledgement, enter the settings.
Go to the category list by clicking on Your Name and then on Settings.
Then click on the Categories on the left menu.
From the list of categories, click on the category you'd like to update.
In the category settings, click Yes on Enable Acknowledgements. In there the following settings are allowed:
Enter a question that can be answered with a yes or no
Allow the Contact to change the expiration date
Allow the Contact to view files in the expiration
Allow the Contact to add files
Require the Contact to upload a file - This will prevent the form from being submitted unless a new file is added.
Require login - This will require the person to login to Expiration Reminder. This can only be done if they are already a User of the account. Contacts of your account do not have login access to your account less added by you or your team.
