Open the area's Reminders app from the sidebar and click New reminder.
Fields
Title — the short label that appears on the reminders list and the calendar. Required.
Description — optional. Where to go, what to bring, who to call.
Due date + time — the moment the reminder is "due". Required.
Recurrence — none / daily / weekly / monthly, with an optional end date.
Alert timing — at-event, 24h before, 12h before, 1h before, 15m before, 5m before, or "no alert".
Alert recipients — one or more people who should get the email + in-app notification. Add as many as you need.
Note — You don't need to add yourself to the alert list — every area member sees the reminder in their list regardless. The alert list is the "tap on the shoulder" — for the people who should actively get notified.
What happens after creation
The reminder appears at the top of the Upcoming list, ordered by due date.
It also surfaces on the area's Calendar on its due date.
Alert recipients receive an email + in-app bell notification at the chosen time before the due moment.
When someone marks it complete, recurring reminders auto-advance to the next occurrence; one-off reminders move to the Completed list.
Tip — Use plain-language titles. "Joanne — GP review" is far more scannable than "Quarterly clinical review session". Save the detail for the description.
