Editing Session Reminders
To edit session reminders, perform the following steps:

• In the Sessions view or session editor, select a session to set the reminder options, right-click and
select Edit.
• On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Preferences > Scheduler >
Notifications & Reminders.
The Preferences—Notifications Reminders dialog box displays; see Figure 12-51 on page 12-59.
2. Select one (and only one) session reminder to edit and click Edit.
The Add Session Reminder dialog box displays; see Figure 12-54 on page 12-63.
3. Edit the session reminder criteria, as necessary, and click OK.

To delete session reminders, perform the following steps:
1. On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Preferences > Scheduler > Notifications

The Preferences—Notifications Reminders dialog box displays; see Figure 12-51 on page 12-59.
2. Select one (or more, by pressing Ctrl+click) session reminders to delete and click Delete.
3. Click Apply > OK.
Starting and Stopping ASAP Rescheduling
When you create a session, you can specify to start the session as soon as all the required resources become
available. This is called an ASAP session. The Active System Manager software schedules the session at
the earliest time it can find, and sets the entry’s state to Confirmed.
If other sessions cancel or finish early, there is an opportunity for a previously confirmed ASAP session to
move up to an earlier time slot. ASAP does this automatically. The Active System Manager administrator
can enable or disable this feature and the Active System Manager (web GUI) Welcome page displays its
status. Typically, rescheduling occurs when a session is canceled or edited to terminate early.
Before canceling multiple sessions, it is sometimes useful to stop the ASAP Rescheduling engine. You can
start and stop ASAP Rescheduling by one of the following methods:
• On the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Preferences > Scheduler > ASAP
Rescheduling. Make necessary schedule updates and click OK.
• From the session/resource calender, right-click a session and select Start Automatic Rescheduling or
the Stop Automatic Rescheduling menu; see Figure 12-55.
