You can determine, how many notifications will be sent to a customer (you can set up to 20 different notification periods i.e., the periods of time before subscription expiration date when a customer receives a notification). This can be done by customizing the Credit Terms associated with customer Account.

  4. Click Credit Terms on the Subscription Manager submenu
  5. Click on the Credit Terms name you need. The Credit Terms properties appear on the screen.
  6. Select the Renewal Notification Periods tab. The list of notification periods that are currently enabled for the selected Credit Terms appears on the screen.
  7. Click the Edit button. The screen reloads with the list of notification periods for editing.
  8. You can select the number of notifications to enable from the Create drop-down menu. Click the Display button. The selected number of fields for notifications appears on the screen.

    1. Type the notification period duration into the Period field;
    2. Select the units for the notification period duration (hours days) from the drop-down menu next to the Period field;
  10. Click the Update button.
