1.  Reminder Alarms

The Reminder Alarm is a wonderful feature to help you remember items scheduled for the future.  For example:  You may want to give yourself a reminder a month in advance to pay your website domain rental next year...or maybe even a reminder to meet a wedding client next week.  These reminders will appear immediately when you open your DJCalendar program.  If the reminder date has passed, the reminder alarm will still notify you until you either delete the reminder or turn the alarm off.  There are no limitations to the number of reminders you schedule for yourself or staff and you can date your reminders as far in advance as you wish.

Step 1:  From the main djcalendar form, click "Tools", then select "Reminder Alarms/Checklist Items".

Step 2:  To add a new reminder, select the option button labled "View Reminder Alarms", then click on the option button labeled "Add".

Step 3:  Enter your Reminder details and then click on the button labled "Add".

Step 4: Congratulations, you have setup your first reminder alarm.  When the reminder is due, you will notice a "red" label on the main djcalendar form.  Simply click on the "Red" label to view the alarms.  See illustration below.

2.  Checklist Items

The reminder checklist items are very useful for each event scheduled.  You can designate up to 10 checklist items for each event.  For example, checklist items may be utilized to remind you to Send A Contract, Send A Wedding Application, Send A Reminder Letter, etc...  You can customize your own checklist items on the "Setup Options Form".  For more information, click here.
