The Upcoming and overdue obligations list on the ISBN & legal deposit screen shows all open tasks by deadline. Reminders go out for the same tasks, as panel notifications and e-mails. The e-mails do not contain the title of the book, only the date and a link.

Weekly digest Monday Production coordinators and Ministry officers

Business days are counted from Monday to Friday. Public holidays are not left out: a holiday on a weekday counts as a business day. If no Ministry officers are listed, the reminders meant for the officers go to the production coordinators. The weekly digest goes out only when something is upcoming or overdue. If the e-mail of an e-mail template is switched off, only the panel notification goes out.

Changing the days

A System administrator changes the days on the Reminders card of the Site settings → Publisher and ISBN tab. For the reminders counted in business days and for the bandrol reminder, 0 switches the reminder off. The 15-day legal deposit period set by law does not change. The settings are described in Entering the Publisher Settings.
