Reminders

 You can set up an event or reminder to occur once, on a specific date and time or repeatedly, every day, week, month, year, reminders can also be tailored to specific users or all users.

If you have set up a reminder, it will appear at the specific date and time, or the first time you open the software after the specified date and time.  If you have more than one reminder due at the same time, they appear in the same window.

Create a new event or task reminder

1. From the navigation bar click Calendar, then click New Reminder.
2. Complete the New Reminder window.
3. Reminder Description* – up to a maximum of 70 characters.
4. Date to Use – To use the computer date as the date of the event or task, select PC Date. To use the process date as the date of the event or task, select Process Date.
