Using reminders

Reminders enable you to create notes for yourself and others. You can send reminders by email or through alerts, and you can specify when to send them.

You can create generic reminders, or you can create reminders that are associated with a specific work order or task. For example, you can send yourself a note to follow up on a work order.

Whether you access these reminders from the console or from a work order determines which reminders you can view:

  • When you open the Reminders dialog box from the console, you can view all reminders that you have created.
  • When you open reminders from a work order, you can view all reminders associated with that work order. This includes reminders created by other users of the application.

You can modify or delete only the reminders that you have created.
