Where to view all of your/your team's reminders
Once you have set up your reminders, you can view all past, present, and future reminders for not just yourself, but also for your team members by following the steps below:
Note: If you are on the Enterprise tier, you and your team members may not see all reminders based on the different levels of sharing options set by the Enterprise Admin (see Enterprise Permissions).
- Click Reminders on the left-side of your screen.
- On the Reminders page, you can switch between the Pending and Completed tabs to see past, present, and future reminders. You can also filter all reminders by:
- Which team member assigned the reminders
- To which team member the reminders were assigned to
Important Callouts
- If your notification preference for reminders is set to Immediately (see Email Notifications), then you will receive two notifications for a reminder - one immediately when a team member assigns a reminder to you and another on the reminder's due date.
- You will not receive email notifications for reminders that you set for yourself - you will only receive email notifications for reminders assigned to you by your team members.
