### <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">Best Practices &amp; Considerations</span>

- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">Like other system tasks, **New Violation Notices** is set to run at a scheduled time while it is enabled.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">It can also be run immediately by pressing the run button.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">While the setting **Send Notices for Warnings** is enabled, this task will include warning violations in its output. When disabled, the task will only send notices out for violations issued with a fine.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">The **task frequency** can be adjusted, however it must be updated manually on our end in the database. Please contact us at <support@ops-com.com> for help.</span>

<p class="callout warning">We **strongly recommend** keeping a **longer delay**, as it’s designed to prevent situations where staff may be approached or pressured immediately after issuing a violation.</p>
