Counterintuitive
I'm sorry but I find the current reminder system counterintuitive in some ways. In my head:
a reminder should lead an appointment begin date/time a reminder should lead a *due* date/time Is there a different way to think abou this that makes more sense or is there an option I'm missing or a suggested addiiton that would make sense to suggest from this? Thank you. |
A reminder does "lead" the begin date/begin time by the amount of time specified in the Reminder attribute.
So if the Begin Date = "3/15/2007" and the Begin Time = "10:00 AM", and the Reminder = 15 minutes, a reminder for the item will be displayed at "3/15/2007 9:45 AM. This exact point in time can be displayed in the Item Attributes Pane by displaying the optional Pending Reminder attribute - done at Tools | Options | Attributes Essentially then your request is for Reminders to "lead" either the Begin Date/Begin Time OR the Due Date. Here are some of the considerations (off the top of my head) to do have Ultra Recall function this way: - if a Begin Date and Due Date are specified, which should be used? - if the Due Date is used, and a Recurring attribute is also specified, should the Due Date be advanced, no Recurrence occur, or?? - would a Due Time attribute also be necessary to specify an exact time (vs just the Due DATE)? - the Reminder Dialog would have to become more complicated to reflect whether due to the Begin Date or the Due Date - etc |
