Reminders
Reminders are a tool for personal management. You can add a reminder with a text message to a record. The reminder will appear as a pop-up window at the time specified by you.
To create a reminder, right-click on a record in the main window. In the context menu, select Reminder and then Add Reminder as shown below.
Define the reminder pop-up by its date and time in the dialogue that opens. Add a description, if necessary. Then click OK.
A reminder is then added to the record you selected. A reminder is always associated with a specific record. Records with reminders have a bell icon in the "Reminder icon" column in the result list.
When a reminder has been created, you can edit or remove it by right-clicking the record. In the context menu, click Edit reminder or Remove reminder.
At the time you specified for the reminder, the “Reminder” dialogue pops up on your screen. The dialogue appears even if the F2 window is not active.
To view all your reminders, go to the main window ribbon and click Show all reminders. This opens the “Reminder” dialogue, which is described in the section below.
The “Reminder” dialogue
This dialogue is shown when a reminder is due or when you click the Show all reminders menu item on the main window ribbon. You can filter reminders by using the filtering fields below the column headers. For example, you can specify a time period in the drop-down field in the "Due in" column to only show reminders due in that period.
