Reminder functionality overview

The Reminder app allows regular Jira user to set their own reminders from any JIRA issue. Reminder is the email with link to the issue to be automatically sent to Jira users or groups of users (according to the Reminder app settings) at the specified time and with specified message.

Tonight
Tomorrow
