Sub/task Reminder

Do you need to come back to the task or subtask later? Do you want to be reminded of the sub/task regardless of the deadline? It is simple with Reminder.

The Reminder can be set for every task and subtask in Freelo. It doesn’t matter whether the task has a deadline or who the assigned user is. The reminder is just for you and no one else can see it. There are 2 ways to set the reminder.

Three-dot menu

Go to project or To-Do list detail. Place the mouse over a task and a three-dot icon appears on the left. Click and then click Reminder…

Keyboard shortcut

The fastest way to set the reminder is definitely the keyboard shortcut. You just move your cursor on the task + press R. After this step the modal window appears and you can set the reminder with the lightning speed.

TIP:

Have you received notification on an updated task and how should you react? Are you too busy to do it now? You might want to do it later, so set the Reminder and Freelo will notify you for example the next day.

Notification about reminder

When it’s time, you get notification about a task or subtask reminder in the notification center (the bell).

  • The Reminder notification is not connected to email. It is within Freelo notifications only.
  • The Reminder cannot be filtered or visible anywhere.
  • Every task and subtask can have one Reminder only.
