Remind Date

Specify the date and time when the system will remind you about the task or appointment. At that date and time, the system sends a message to the Inbox form. It can also display a message notification icon in the status bar and play a sound when the reminder message arrives, if you have chosen those options in the User Preferences dialog.

In the Create User Task form, the default value is the current date and time, which means the task message displays immediately in the Inbox and the Task List.

In the Create User Appointment form, the default value is the current date and 12:00:00 AM, which means the appointment message displays immediately in the Inbox.

To set a different date, use either of these methods:

  • Click the down-arrow to display the calendar, and select a date. The time then defaults to the current time on that date.
  • Specify the date and time in this format: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM|PM.

After the date and time has passed, this field is cleared.

If you do not specify a Remind Date, no reminder is sent. In this case, a task displays only in the Task List, and an appointment displays only in the User Calendar.
