A) Setting Up Reminders

How reminder works?
You have the liberty to define the type of the reminder which can be weekly, daily etc.(In backend). Once admin defines the reminder type, the user can set a reminder accordingly. For instance: If the event is on 17th of Aug 8pm and user sets reminder for 2 days. He will get a reminder on 15th Aug 8pm.
B) Setting up Emails
From 1.7 and above We have seperate email per ticket
- Open yoursite/administrator JTIcketing=>Email Template=>Set up your template and save
- Open yoursite/administrator JTIcketing=>Ticket Template=>Set up your template and save (This is used as a template for Ticket PDF which is attached to email)
