Reminders

OASIS features a Reminder system, in which users may create, manage, and acknowledge reminders. These include, but are not limited to, reminders to follow up with customers, to check status updates, and to attend office meetings. Reminders can be sent to yourself and to other users. This article will explain how to utilize the Reminder system.

Viewing a Reminder

1. Navigate to the Home Screen and locate the "Reminders" area. Note: if the reminder is related to a transaction, it will appear as a quick link directly below the reminder.

2. Select a reminder to open it. The "Reminder" window will appear.

Alternatively, all reminders will also be displayed in the Calendar page. Note: acknowledged reminders will appear in black text and unacknowledged reminders will appear in red text.

3. Select the Calendar page, and then select the day. All reminders, events, quotes, and orders will show by default.

4. To view only reminders, select the drop-down menu for each unwanted field, and select "None."
