Setting Reminders on a Task

This topic describes the procedure to set reminders on a task.

Reminders are like alarms. They are triggered or activated before the task for which the reminder has been set is due. You can also set a single reminder for multiple tasks.
Note: You cannot set reminders on Completed or Skipped tasks.

1. On CUSP > My Applications App Palette, click (My Inbox). The My Inbox window appears, displaying the personal tasks, by default.
2. Right-click the required task and select Reminder from the context menu. The Add Reminder dialog box is displayed.
3. Type the subject of the reminder in the Reminder Subject field.
4. Set the Days, Hours and Seconds in the respective fields, as required, and click OK.

   Attention

   • When Due Date for the task is set, the reminder will be activated, on the set time before the task is due.
   • When the Due Date is not set, the reminder will be activated after the set time, from the current time.
   • While setting the time for reminder, you must set the reminder to execute after 2 minutes or more in order to achieve the desired result.

The reminder is set on the selected task. At the set time, a Reminders dialog box appears, displaying the reminder along with all other reminders set on various tasks, by the current user.
The reminder dialog box contains the Subject and the Due In fields, that contain the subject of the reminder and the time when the tasks are due respectively.
