Introduction

The Reminder List is used to create and manage reminders for users in Total Office Manager. Think of each reminder as a tool which, once setup, is then used to produce reminder items.  It is the reminder item that users are ultimately notified about when logging in to the system, or seen in the information center.  Even after all reminder items have been dismissed or otherwise dealt with, users can return to the original reminder (tool) to create more reminder items.

Form Access

  • From the main menu, click Company | Reminder List.

Creating a New Reminder

Add Reminder
  1. Right-click anywhere in the Customer Type list and choose New Reminder from the pop-up menu.  The “Add Reminder” form will appear.
  2. Enter a name for the reminder in the “Name” field.
  3. Select a “Start” date.
  4. Select a “Frequency”.  The choices are:
    • Daily
    • Weekly
    • Every Two Weeks
    • Monthly
    • Every Two Months
    • Quarterly
    • Bi-Annually
    • Tri-Annually
    • Annually
  5. Select an “End Date”.
    • If the reminder is to occur only once, the start and end dates will be the same.
  6. Select a “Day Type”.  The choices are either “Calendar Day” or “Next Business Day”.
    • Pick “Next Business Day” to ensure the reminder happens on a week-day (Monday – Friday).
  7. Enter a “Description” if necessary.
  8. Check the checkbox next to each person to remind.  The “Select All” button checks the checkbox for everyone in the “Remind Who” list.
  9. When ready, click the “Create Reminders” button.  Individual “Reminder Items” will appear in the grid at the bottom of the form.  These reminder items, along with all others, also appear separately in the Reminder Item List.
  10. To mark Reminder Items as complete from within this window, check the “Completed” checkbox (the Date Completed field will automatically populate with today’s date).
    • The “Complete All” button checks all checkboxes in the list.  Note: this is only one of several ways to complete reminder items.
  11. The individual reminder items can be edited as necessary.  Adjust the date and user of a reminder item freely.  Remember, the reminder itself is sort of a tool, used to create either a single or a large batch of reminder items.

  13. When finished, click the “OK” button to exit the form.
