Introduction
In the fast-paced world of project management, keeping track of tasks and deadlines is crucial. One of the features in Jira that helps with this is the automatic reminder system. This article will guide you through managing your automatic reminders, specifically focusing on how to set them for Epic issues while keeping other issue types free from unnecessary alerts.
Detailed Explanation
Automatic reminders in Jira are designed to notify users about important updates or tasks that need attention. However, we understand that too many alerts can be overwhelming. To address this, we have introduced a feature that allows users to set reminders to be enabled by default only for Epic issues, while keeping them off for other issue types. This way, you can focus on what truly matters without being bombarded by notifications.
Additionally, when a ticket is marked as "Done," an automated comment will be added to remind the reporter to create documentation using FastDoc. This ensures that important documentation is not overlooked after task completion.
