reminder alertsCertain types of assets need timely maintenance or reminders for follow-ups e.g. speed-guns requiring calibration (or maybe not if you’re looking to get away with that ticket!), heavy machinery maintenance and electronic part replacements, etc. If you’re tracking such assets on EZOfficeInventory, you can now add a reminder alert by:

Assets –> Custom Attributes –> Add Custom Attribute –> Date Field (alert). Here, check ‘send email alert’.

The asset(s) with this custom attribute will send an email on that day to all administrators on the account. To stop receiving such alerts, an administrator may update their preference by going to the Alerts tab.
