Enter the Name for the new follow-up and set the Reminder Interval using the drop-down below. This will be the default time length that a follow-up will be created for when this reason is selected on a customer order.

Leave the Active checkbox ticked to enable the new reason within the Marlin system.

To add the new follow-up and return to the Search list, click on the Save button to the top-right of the module window.
