Personal reminders are a tool for your personal control. You can add reminders containing text to records. A personal reminder will appear as a pop-up window at the time specified by you.

To create a personal reminder, right-click on a record in the main window. In the context menu, select Personal reminder and then Add personal reminder as shown below.

Define the personal reminder pop-up by its date and time in the dialogue that opens. Add a description, if necessary. Then click OK.

Figure 2. Create a personal reminder

A personal reminder is then added to the record you selected. A personal reminder is always associated with a specific record. Records with personal reminders have a bell icon in the "Reminder icon" column in the result list.

When a personal reminder has been created, you can edit or remove it by right-clicking the record. In the context menu, click Edit personal reminder or Delete personal reminder.

At the time you specified for the personal reminder, the “Personal reminder” dialogue pops up on your screen. The dialogue appears even if the F2 window is not active.

To view all your personal reminders, go to the main window ribbon and click Show all personal reminders. This opens the “Personal reminder” dialogue, which is described in the section below.

The “Personal reminder” dialogue

This dialogue is shown when a personal reminder is due or when you click the Show all personal reminders menu item on the main window ribbon. You can filter your personal 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 personal reminders due in that period.
