Reminders

The newly added MangoApps features of Smart Reminders let MangoApps do the work of not just reminding you, but also the upfront work of setting up the reminders for your events, tasks and approval requests.

MangoApps also allows you to create a reminder in feeds for which you wish to be notified at a certain point of time. The reminder will only be visible on your calendar.

Create a Reminder from Your News Feed

MangoApps makes it easy to create reminders to put on your calendar.

From an item in your news feed, select the three dot menu. Then, select Set a Reminder.

Set the Date and Time you want to receive the reminder. You can add a note of 300 character of fewer. Finally, select a color for the reminder to appear in and click on Save.

If you later change your RSVP for the event to be ‘not-attending’ then your reminder set for that event is automatically removed to avoid you being notified on an event that you don’t plan to attend.

Can my reminder on a task I am responsible for be automatically changed or deleted? When you’re the responsible person on a task then depending on your reminder settings, a reminder may be automatically created on that task for you. When you deliver that task or you re-assign it to someone else, then your reminder set for that task is automatically removed. This is done to avoid being notified on a task that you have delivered or re-assigned already (you can create a new reminder again on that task if you need to). Additionally, if your delivered task that is rejected or re-opened and the due date of the task hasn’t passed yet, then a reminder may be automatically re-created on that task for you (if your smart reminder setting for tasks is ON).

Can I set more than one reminder on one item? You can only set one reminder for one item. So for 1 event you can set 1 reminder, for 1 task you can set 1 reminder etc. This is done to keep it simple for you to manage your reminders. You can however use the “snooze” capability or create a recurring reminder if you would like to be reminded again on the same item.
