A Type=Reminder Event and it's related Alert=Reminder utilizes the following elements in the Event entry, as follows:
- Channel
- Contains an optional Segment specification (e.g. Referee, Services, Administrator, Assignor, ...) that the Reminder should be delivered to. Set Channel=Administrator to deliver the Reminder ONLY to the Administrator page, etc.
- Description
- contains additional information about the Reminder itself and acts as additional information explaining what the Title describes
- Interval
- Identifies the period of time between Reminder Events. The Interval can be None (no Recurring Interval), Day (once each 24 hours), Week(once a Week), Month (once a Month), and Annual (once a Year). The Interval is computed using the Event Start Date+Time as an anchor or start point.
- Options
- Type=Reminder entries have the Reminder Option checked on (which indicates the Event is a Reminder)
- Recur
- A specification indicating the number of Intervals that should elapse between Reminder Events (e.g. 2 Weeks, 18 Days, 3 Months, etc.).
- Title
- Provides the text associated with the Reminder (usually a short phrase)
Once a Reminder has been displayed, it can be dismissed for the current Interval by clicking the Close symbol following the Reminder Title. The Reminder itself will be repeated again once the Recur Interval has expired.
