Setting a Reminder (Pop-up Window or Upcoming Display)

< Previous

If you want to be alerted of upcoming events on your agenda, you can set a reminder that will be displayed. To do this:

  • When creating or editing a meeting, click the Reminders tab.
  • In the Reminders tab, click in the Display Upcoming For radio button or the Remind Me radio button. If you select Display Upcoming For, select an option from the drop-down list and enter a number in the field. If you select Remind me, click Popup or E-Mail, then select from the drop-down list and enter a number in the field.

Tips

  • Oracle Calendar must be running for the Pop-Up Window to work.
    • On a Macintosh, a dialog box will notify you that Oracle Calendar needs your attention. When you switch over to Oracle Calendar, the Pop-up Window will appear.
    • On Windows, the Pop-up Window will appear while you are using other programs.
  • Pop-up Windows can be set like an alarm clock and deleted once it goes off.
  • The Upcoming Display reminder will show in the notes section a day or so before the meeting. A hand and clock icon will indicate that an event is scheduled in the near future.
  • If a reminder is set for an agenda entry, a Bell icon will appear on the entry in the agenda.
  • All reminders are set individually by each user. If you set a reminder for an agenda entry, that reminder will apply only to you, not to others invited to the meeting.
