How to use Reminders in WebScheduler (do they trigger any emails?)

Hi Jignesh Patel,

Our developer said that you could do this in application level. Although, I didn't expect you to use alarm feature like outlook because it's not the best practice for web application. You can send the email right after you create your event or you could send it from server side by using windows service. By using ASP.NET page that continously running, you can set to give a feedback to event that have reminder time in WebScheduler like email, notification or etc. With this method, it should resolved any requirement in your scenario but you need to have an ASP.NET page that always running in your server side. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bernard

Thanks Bernard. It would be really helpful if we can trigger an an email or just an alarm like in outlook. Please let us know once your developers are ready with this feature.

Hi Jignesh Patel,

I think Reminder field in WebScheduler will be used when you export WebScheduler to iCal format. when you exporting iCal format to Outlook, Outlook will notify you before the event started. Actually, WebScheduler doesn't support reminder feature (like alarm in Outlook). If you want, I can suggest this feature to our developer, maybe they would create the feature regarding to your scenario. Hope this helps.

Bernard

Hi,

I have tried setting the reminder for an event. I was expecting that it would either show a popup as per the reminder start time setting and "time to reminder" (i actually selected 15 Mins) before setting of that event.

But i haven't seen anything like that though the event start time has passed.

Is there any customization that i need to do to show a popup window ?

Also please let me know whether we can trigger an email as per reminder settings?

I dont find any documentation for that, so please help me to get this addressed.
