Reminders in Way We Do work like a friendly little notification that there's something for you to action. The Reminder in question will be in relation to a policy, procedure, or process your role has responsibility for.
Reminders are great as you can have more than one on any given content item, meaning important notifications can be sent for all activities and for all roles. So if, for example, there's a procedure that your role shares responsibility on, and there's specific things within that procedure you're responsible for, the Reminder will notify you of your specific responsibilities and when they need to be done.
There's two ways you can view what Reminders you have to perform. Those due now and those coming up over the next week.
Reminders Due Now
Reminders Due Now are those activities you need to perform today. They'll be on your Dashboard and in your Daily Action Summary.
When you view them on your Dashboard, the Reminder will show with a time it needs to be completed by. Before that time is reached the Reminder will have black text, afterwards it will show as red.
When a Reminder is showing on your Dashboard it's serving as a notification only and it's up to you to view the policy, procedure, or process and perform the action the Reminder is asking you to do. You don't need to do anything to the Reminder itself, it will automatically disappear at the end of the day.
Reminders Coming Up
To get some oversight of what Reminders you have coming up over the next 7 days, click Reminders Coming Up on your Dashboard.
This will take you to a list of future Reminders, the date and time, and can be selected to view the relevant content item.
