Reminders
Reminders are future tasks where the urgency are based on how close the user is to the due date or odometer reading.
Adding Reminders
Reminders can either be added directly on the Reminders tab by clicking the "Add Reminder" button or via adding a new Service/Repair/Upgrade Record.
Reminder Metrics
Similar to the maintenance schedule outlined in your vehicle's user manual, the urgency of a Reminder can be set either via a due date, a future odometer reading, or whichever comes first.
| Urgency | Due Date | Future Odometer Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Not Urgent | > 30 days out | > 100 miles out |
| Urgent | < 30 days out | < 100 miles out |
| Very Urgent | < 7 days out | < 50 miles out |
| Past Due | > 0 days past | > 0 miles past |
Recurring Reminders
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.
Automatically Refresh Past Due Reminders
There is a setting within the Settings tab that allows users to automatically refresh past due reminders. Note that with this setting enabled, any reminder that becomes Past Due will be automatically refreshed, this requires a lot of diligence from the user to heed their reminders and stay on top of it.
Manually Refresh Reminders
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.
This reminder is set to be recurring every 1 year, so when the "Done" button is pushed, it will push the due date of this reminder to 1/31/2025.
