Set task reminders

When creating or changing a task, you can choose to set reminders. When reminders have been set, they are automatically displayed at the specified time. However, you can also manually view all the reminders that are overdue for the current date.

To set a reminder:

1. In the Task screen, on the Task tab, tick Reminder. The associated fields are enabled.
2. Use the available options to select when or how long before the task you want the reminder to appear.
• To set the reminder for a certain date and time, select On from the first drop-down and then specify the time.
• To set the reminder for a period of time prior to the task, select Before from the first drop-down and then specify the timescale, e.g. 15 minutes, 1 day, etc.
• To set the reminder for all tasks in a series (i.e. a recurring task), tick Repeat for each occurrence.
• You can also set reminders for an existing task by editing the task and clicking Reminder.

To view reminders:

1. In the Task view, on the Home tab, click Reminders.
2. When the Reminders screen opens, you will see a list of all the overdue tasks (and appointments) which have reminders set. You can:
• Dismiss all items
• Dismiss individual items
• Open items
• Snooze items
