I. Introduction to Task Reminders
Task reminders provide notifications, over email and in the app, of tasks a person is assigned to before each task's due date. These notifications can be enabled in each user's settings. This is also where the frequency of these notifications can be customized.
Members and observers can enable task reminders and control the frequency of these for their own accounts. Admins can take these actions for their own accounts, and for the accounts of other users.
Task reminders cannot be enabled or disabled for only some tasks. They are either sent for all assigned tasks or none, depending on the option selected in user settings.
Task reminders can use the following frequencies:
1 day before due date
2 days before due date
3 days before due date
4 days before due date
5 days before due date
When both immediate email notifications and task reminders are enabled, an email is sent to the login email address, and to any additional notification addresses listed in user settings on the timeline selected from the above.
