Test Reminders and Escalation

Every morning at 07:15 dynamik.app looks at every system's test programme and emails the people who should act: the client's contacts when a test is due or was missed, and you when the same test has been missed twice.

Switching It On

The programme has one company-wide switch: Settings → Certificates → Reminders → System test reminders. It is on by default. With it off nothing is sent and nothing is recorded.

Who Receives What

Email Sent to When
System tests due at <project> The client's responsibles On the first day of a period — Monday morning for a weekly test — when nothing is recorded yet
Missed system tests at <project> The client's responsibles The period after a test was not recorded
<project> has missed the same test twice Your owners and admins Two or more consecutive periods missed
<project>: <rule> failed Your owners and admins The moment a scheduled test is recorded as Fail

The client's responsibles are their portal contacts who can open that location and hold the Record logbook tests ability. If no contact qualifies, every portal-enabled contact of the client with an email is used, so a reminder is never silently dropped. Set abilities and locations on the client's contacts; see Portal Contacts.

Each system, rule and period is emailed once, and one email covers every system on the project. A client who skipped last week but has already recorded this week's test gets no missed email — the status is Done, and the miss stays in the history where the logbook PDF shows it.

The reminder links straight to the system's logbook in the portal with a Record the test button. The escalation to you lists each system and rule with how many periods were missed, and ends: The client has already been emailed after each miss. This is the point to call them.

On Your Dashboard

Missed tests also appear in the dashboard's action queue: one item per system — <rule> — missed ×2 — marked Urgent from two misses and High at one, with a Chase client link to the project's Systems tab.

Note

Reminders depend on the client's contacts having an email address and portal access. A project whose client has no portal-enabled contact is logged as having nobody to remind — check the client record if a site never seems to get its Monday email.
