Currently, the Scheduler tool triggers email reminders only as a precursor to automatically closing a period (Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Monthly). I am requesting a new configuration option that allows the Scheduler to send automated reminders without triggering a period closure.
The reminder system and the closing action are "all-or-nothing." Users who want to utilize the system's automated reminders to improve compliance are forced to also automate the closing of the period. This lacks flexibility for teams that:
Have varying approval timelines.
Need to send multiple "nudge" emails throughout the week.
Prefer to manually review data before performing a final close.
Maybe we could ntroduce a toggle or a new "Action Type" within the Scheduler settings:
Action: Close Period & Remind (Current Behavior): Sends emails and then locks the period at the scheduled time.
Action: Reminder Only (New): Sends the configured email template to the target audience at the scheduled time, but leaves the period Open for further edits/submissions.
