Issue-Related Reminders
Note that you may be restricted to use some functionality due to permissions settings (Administrator's Guide).
However, there are several cast-iron rules:
- A user can manage the reminder created by themselves.
- A user can manage their personal reminders, no matter if it was created by themselves or by someone else.
- A user can only browse the reminders made for them as for a group member.
Reminders section location
Check the reminders panel in an issue. Here you can browse and manage issue-related reminders and create new ones. There are two types of reminder creation – quick one and 'from scratch' for more complex settings.
Quick reminders
There are several predefined options available to create quick reminders (for yourself only) and without a message:
- Tonight – should be configured in the My Reminders section.
- Tomorrow – should be configured in the My Reminders section.
- In a week = +7 days to the current date and time
- In month = the same date the next month
Reminders 'from scratch'
You can create a reminder "from scratch" by clicking the Reminder button. This option allows you to create more complex, conditional and/or periodical reminders.
To create a new reminder from scratch click on Reminder button.
