Reminders can be set to become recurring so that you don't have to create a new reminder for recurring maintenance such as oil changes. When you have completed the task set by the reminder, you can either have it automatically refresh when it lapses or by manually refreshing it. Refreshing a reminder effectively pushes out the due date or the odometer reading based on the recurring interval, i.e.: if a Reminder is due at 10000 miles and the interval is set at every 5000 miles, refreshing the Reminder will push the future odometer reading out to 15000 miles.
### Fixed Intervals
-
Recurring Reminders are typically refreshed based on the date or mileage it was pushed back. For example, for an oil change reminder that is due on 10,000 miles and is set to be recurring every 10,000 miles, if you refreshed the reminder early at 7500 miles, the new due date will be at 17,500 miles instead of 20,000.

However, this logic doesn't hold for certain reminders such as Vehicle Registration where the user can pay ahead of the due date i.e.: if your vehicle registration expires on December 31st every year, paying your registration on December 15th doesn't mean your registration will expire on December 15th of the next year. For this behavior, "Fixed Intervals" must be checked for the recurring reminder so that due dates and mileage isn't getting shifted forward.

### Manually Refresh Reminders
+
Recurring Reminders can be refreshed when any Service/Repair/Upgrade/Tax Records are created or when a Plan Record is marked as done.
+
When a recurring reminder falls into Very Urgent or Past Due status, there will be a button on the Reminders page that will allow the user to manually refresh the reminder.
