REMINDERPRO HELP: SCHEDULING PAGER REMINDERS

To use this feature, you must have PageNOW! installed on your computer. To schedule a reminder to be sent to a specified pager:

• Select “A Pager Reminder…” from the “Schedule” menu.

Specifiying pager reminders

Specifying a pager reminder is almost like specifying a reminder, except that you can specify a pager subscriber to send the pager reminder to. If you do not specify a pager subscriber, the reminder will be sent to the default subscriber as specified in PageNOW!.

To schedule a pager reminder, you need to specify the following information:

• Title

Every reminder must have a title. A title can be up to 31 characters long.

• Message

This is the reminder message text. It can be up to 127 characters long for pager reminders.

• Time

Every reminder must have a time. This is the time the reminder is supposed to be displayed. If the reminder is repeating, this time is also the start time. The start time is used as a reference point to calculate the next time for repeating reminders.

• Once/Repeating

A reminder can be for once, or repeating. Several options are available for specifying how to repeat a reminder.

• Advance reminder

Every reminder can have an advance reminder associated with it. You can specify the advance time in minutes, hours, days or weeks.

• Pager Subscriber

You can specify the name of a pager subscriber. The subscriber must be specified within PageNOW!. If you leave this blank, PageNOW! will send the pager reminder to the subscriber designated as default.

• Group

Every reminder belongs to a group. You specify the group in which the reminder is to be included.

• Sound

You can associate one of the built-in sounds for a reminder. Alternatively, you can record a voice message and associate it with a reminder. The associated sound is played when a reminder is sent to the pager.

Missed Reminders

If your computer is shut off at a time when a reminder is supposed to be sent, the reminder is sent when you turn your computer on. If the reminder is a repeating reminder, and it misses several times (when it is supposed to go off) while the computer is off, it is sent only once when the computer is turned on.
