 |
2. Create an AdHoc Event: | |
- Open the "AdHoc Events" from N-OC menu Editors/Company |   |
Create new item. Select a datatype: Company Activity Human Resource Roster Schedule Vehicle Note: At the moment only Company Activity will be available in the schedule Gantt This AdHoc event from now on can be assigned to legs. |  |
3. Add Event To Automation Factory | |
If you want the Adhoc Event to trigger a message e.g. email, you need to create an Event | |
