A reminder is a personal card date, visible only to the user who creates it. It can be useful for organizing your work. Unlike the other card dates, it has an individual character. Use it to remind yourself why and when the card is important to you by receiving a notification. Make sure you don’t forget important tasks.
The reminder icon is marked with the user symbol to show its individual character .
Example: Card dates in the card details section. This card has a due date of May 29, an Installation card date of May 17, and a Learn to use reminder of May 27.
Your reminders will be marked on your timeline in Kanban view. No one else can see them.
The color of the reminder changes from gray to orange as the deadline approaches. An overdue reminder is red.
An overdue reminder will stop glowing red when the card receives a status with the role Completed. If the reminder was for something unrelated to the completion of the card, delete it manually when it is no longer needed.
The reminder is the only date that leaves no trace in theactivity stream. Only the person who set the reminder can see it and can be notified about it.
