Managing Reminders

Creating a reminder

Type into the Add a reminder field at the bottom of the window and press Enter. The reminder goes to the user the window is showing, or to you in the all-users view.

The sliders button beside that field opens the new reminder dialog with any typed text carried over. Right-clicking the Reminders button in the player list opens the same dialog for that user.

Completing a reminder

Check the box at the start of a row to mark the reminder completed. Uncheck it to make the reminder active again.

Completed reminders sort to the bottom. Due reminders come first, then reminders with a due date in date order, then undated reminders newest first.

Editing a reminder

Click a reminder’s text to rename it in place. Press Enter or click away to keep the change, or press Escape to discard it.

The pencil button opens the Edit Reminder dialog. Renaming a reminder there also renames its calendar note. Renaming in place does not.

Deleting reminders

The trash button deletes a reminder after a confirmation. Deleting a reminder also removes its calendar note.

The broom button in the toolbar deletes every completed reminder the window covers, after a confirmation. That includes completed rows hidden by the filter or the eye button. In the all-users view it clears every user’s completed reminders.

Filtering the list

The search field in the toolbar hides rows that don’t match what you type. It matches everything shown on a row, including the due date and, in the all-users view, the owner name.

The eye button hides completed reminders.

Due dates

A reminder can carry an in-world due date once Calendaria is active and due dates are switched on in Settings.

The create and edit dialogs gain a Due Date field. Click it to choose a date in Calendaria’s date picker, or click the cross beside it to clear the date.

A due date is backed by a hidden Calendaria note that sends the reminder’s owner a toast on that date. When the note fires, the row is marked due and its date is highlighted. Completing a reminder leaves the note in place, so the toast still arrives.

A connected GM writes the note, so players need no permission to create notes. While no GM is connected, notes are not created, moved, or removed, and a reminder without a note is not marked due.

Changing a reminder’s due date clears its due mark until the new date arrives. Clearing the date removes the note. Deleting the note in Calendaria clears the due date and keeps the reminder.

Privacy

Players see only their own reminders in the window. Reminders are not a secure store, though. A player with console access can read any user’s reminders.

The GM view

Choose All Users in the toolbar dropdown to see every player’s reminders in one window, with each row naming its owner. Choose a single user to narrow the window to that user.

The create and edit dialogs include an Owner dropdown. Changing the owner of an existing reminder moves it to that user’s list along with its due date. A moved reminder becomes active again, even if it was completed.
