MailReminderHandler

Description

The ActionHandler MailReminderHandler sets the escalation time of this activity. The offset determines how long before the processing time expires all tasks must be completed. At the time of escalation, a mail is sent to the processor for each open task of the "escalation activity".

Only with this handler can multiple escalations be configured on an activity.
