non-urgent
Not time-sensitive
Non-urgent describes something that doesn't require immediate attention or action.
Medical facilities use it to triage patients: The non-urgent cases can wait.
In workplace communication, marking a message non-urgent signals the recipient needn't drop everything: This is non-urgent, but could you review it by Friday?
