Important Information about
Reminders
There are three types of reminders.
• Appointments—entered for a specific date and
time. You can set an alarm for an appointment.
• Tasks—entered for a specific date, but no time.
You can set tasks to carry forward to subsequent
days if they are not checked off as completed.
• Yearly reminders—entered for the same date
each year. Yearly reminders may or may not have
a time.
All reminders are stored together in a master list in
the following order: yearly reminders with a time,
yearly reminders without a time, appointment
reminders, task reminders that have not been
checked off, and task reminders that have been
checked off. Within each group, they are stored in
chronological order, first by date, then by time.
In addition to the master list of reminders, you have
two keys for scanning various summary lists of
reminders.
• The $ key lets you view several different
summary lists. You can see a list of appointment
reminders with alarms, reminders by week,
reminders by month, yearly reminders, or task
reminders by week.
• The % key shows you a summary list of all
reminders for one day.
In the summary list entries are stored in the same
order as in the master list, with one addition.
Reminders you have marked with an advance notice
are displayed first on the day you requested the
advance notice. Advance notices are not displayed in
the master list.
