Reminder in Outlook. Setting and Canceling Reminders How to Delete a Reminder in Google Calendar

The first thing a user sees when visiting the obvious address http://calendar.google.com is a prompt to enter basic information about themselves: the username that will be seen by members of your public calendars from them a little later), as well as your main time zone ... Introduced? Let's go further. We go into the settings and first of all switch the application language to “Russian”, and then return to the calendar and click on the “Month” tab. We see 30 (with a probability of slightly more than 50% - 31) squares, each of which symbolizes one day. The date of the day is reported by the number in the upper right part of the square. The current date changes its color, making it slightly yellowish.

To move in time, use the left and right arrows at the top of the screen. If, for example, you want to travel to 1981, all you need to do is be patient as you “rewind” month after month. It is very convenient to "wander" by dates and using the mini-calendar, which is located in the left sidebar. It also allows you to consistently move from month to month using the arrows. If, during your travels in time, you get stuck somewhere in the middle of the last century, then the "Today" button located next to the navigation arrows will help you to urgently return to the present.

But stop wandering through the eras and climbing into the deep future! It's time to create something in our calendar - for example, a reminder of a meeting with an old friend who returned from a long business trip to Holland (why Holland? Yes, just my friend just returned from there. Amsterdam, in his words, is beautiful!). We translate the cursor to the desired date, click on the "Create event" link and begin to explore the input form that appears.

Naturally, the first step is to enter the name of the event. Laconicism will not hurt here, because it is the name that will be displayed in the date square you have chosen, and the place there is, for obvious reasons, limited. It is more logical to transfer a lengthy explanation of the intricacies of a business meeting or the details of a daring bachelor party to the "Description" field - there it belongs. Time management professionals recommend to encode task names by adding to them, for example, the name of the project, but for this purpose we will use a different functionality. Therefore, once again: be restrained when creating an event, its purpose should be specific and understandable from the first, at most from the second word. Do not write “Friendly Sabantuy about one of the employees of my department going on vacation”, because in a week you will not understand what this event is and whether it is worth going there at all! It is much better to write: "Sergeev" - and even a month later, having received notification of such a significant date, you will remember exactly why the banquet is being organized.

Calendar divides all events into two types - temporary, that is, tied to a specific time, and day, that is. tasks that can be completed during the selected day, without being tied to a specific hour. To set the start and end time of events, click on the "Change information" link and adjust the start and end times in the corresponding fields. It is advisable to enter the exact time only when it comes to events that are rigidly tied to a specific hour, for example, meetings, going to the cinema, flight departures. In all other cases, it is highly advisable to limit yourself to the day of performing a particular task - this way your schedule will become obviously more flexible.

Indeed: what difference does it make when exactly during the day you start clearing debris on your desktop, in the morning or a little after lunch? Do not drive yourself into too tight time frames - our life is much richer than any fantasy plans. Therefore, subsequently you will inevitably have to "move" such tasks, which are annoying and ... right - it takes time! If you don't want to be determined with the exact time, or the task is guaranteed to take the whole day, feel free to check the "All day" checkbox - the fields for entering the time will disappear.

Place of the event. Do not write coordinates here if they are obvious. By definition, a picnic can only be out of town, a Friday party under the slogan "Thanks God it's Friday!" always takes place in the office of the general director, and the address of the institute where you are defending your diploma was memorized by you in your third year. In what cases is it worth filling out this field? Use the principle of reasonable sufficiency: if the planned meeting takes place in an unfamiliar city, then it would be reasonable to indicate not only the name of the street and house, but also descriptions of signs that were given to you by the business partner. Examples: “This is opposite a house with a yellow roof”, “Our office is located next to the“ Clothes ”store”, “I will be in a red blouse and a denim mini-skirt” ... (However, the latter seems to be a little different.) But the principle did you understand.

Events can be one-time and recurring. A one-time event can be considered a trip to the cinema, meeting with friends in a cafe, buying a laptop - in short, everything that happens once or when the date of occurrence of the next similar event is unknown to you. (Of course, I know that someday my tap will burst again, but the exact date of the next plumbing disaster is unknown to me, and therefore the "plumber's visit" task is one-time.)

In contrast to single events, the dates of recurring events are well known to us. Birthdays, loan payments (be it wrong!), Gym workouts are all recurring events. This means that you do not have to enter each episode manually, but simply indicate the desired frequency and once again admire the high technology, seeing how the periodic tasks you specified have automatically "multiplied" for many months in advance. The frequency can be set annually (suitable for birthdays, christenings and wedding anniversaries), monthly (visiting a hairdresser, for example).

By the way, you can specify not only the monthly frequency, but also the period “once every few months”. Then it will also be possible to include quarterly reports every three months or an oil change in a car engine every nine months. You can go further and set up the recurrence of events on a weekly basis - then you just need to specify the day of the week on which the English language is being taught or meetings are organized at the business club. Each time the period changes, the Calendar tells us if everything has been done correctly - the line at the bottom of the screen in one sentence fully describes the frequency of the event "Weekly on Fridays at 17:00", "Annually, January 21 at 15:30", etc.

Have you set up? We pass to the notification mode. Events created in the calendar are worthless if we find out about them a week after their end. The habit of looking at the calendar before the start of the day is great, but it makes you either keep in mind all the events of the day, or keep the calendar open and review it periodically. There is a better way. The calendar can remind you of an impending brainstorm in a conference room or a visit to the dentist using pop-up windows in the browser, e-mail or SMS to a mobile phone. Let's take a closer look at each of these modes.

When you set the reminder mode "Pop-up window" for the specified time before the event, a hint will appear in the browser window that will help you remember to take out the trash, buy a new toothbrush or replace a burned-out light bulb in the attic. After pressing the "OK" button, you will have a chance to take some time off from completing the task by clicking on the "Remind me in five minutes" link that appears at the top of the screen. The pop-up window will reappear after 300 seconds.

Setting up sending reminders by e-mail is convenient if your only constantly open browser window is already occupied by the Gmail service. (After the praises of GMail, I don't believe that you use other mail clients and services! No, I just refuse to believe it!) When you install this type of notification, the system will send a short postcard to the address specified in your Gmail account settings without any questions. of this kind. It contains all the necessary information about the event, as well as the "Additional Information" hyperlink, clicking on which will send your browser directly to the event in the calendar.

The method of notification via SMS personally seems to me the most convenient, therefore, having tried other types of "reminders", I chose it. In fact, the mobile phone is the only device that accompanies me everywhere from the moment I wake up in the morning to the exhausted bedtime. If your working day passes not only in front of a computer screen, but also, say, in a factory shop, in a car, or just an open field, there is no better way to find it. However, to connect it, you need to configure and verify (confirm) your phone number - this is done for security purposes. Let's go to the settings (the link to them is located in the usual upper right corner of the screen) and select the “Settings for mobile devices” tab. Choose a country and a mobile operator: both the "big federal three" - MTS, "Beeline", "MegaFon", and a lot of smaller local operators are available for Russia. In my favorite foreign countries, in Ukraine, Kyivstar and UMC are supported, and residents of Latvia, for example, are lucky with the operators Latvian Mobile Telephone and Tele2.

After choosing an operator and entering your mobile phone number in the adjacent field, you must click the "Send verification code" button. You will receive a test SMS message with a secret code, which must be entered in the confirmation response in the "Verification code" field. This will mean that the number really belongs to you, is not blocked or entered by mistake. After successful verification, the "Status" field will change its value to the coveted "Phone number has been successfully verified".

Now you can return to the notification mode and select the much-desired SMS sending mode. Now, at the time specified before the event, a short text reminder message of this kind will be sent to your cell phone - Reminder: passport exchange @Fri May 1, 2009 (Denis Baluev). If the text of the event is too long, the system will split it into two or more messages - another reason to call cases succinctly. The @ symbol is followed by the day of the week (Mon, Tiie, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun - analogs of our Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun), followed by the date and name your main calendar. Once all the details are specified, click the "Create Event" button and you will see a small blue rectangle appear at the specified location on the calendar. This is your task, event or meeting. In response to a mouse click on the rectangle, a small cloud will appear next to it with a detailed description of the event and a proposal to change certain details.

By the way, here's a super-fast way to create events: just click once with the mouse on an empty spot of the day you want. In the pop-up cloud, enter the task name and time - and that's it! If this information is not enough, it can be clarified by going to the details. But if you just specified "Lunch with a friend" and the time is from one to two, then just click "OK" - and the event will be created. In order to change the time of an event, it is absolutely not necessary to go back to the editing form again. Such actions are easily performed with the mouse. Holding down its left button, events can be dragged to a completely arbitrary day of the year, and deleted using the Delete key. In the event of a single event, it will be destroyed without further ado.

With periodic events, everything is much more interesting. After all, options are possible here! Let's say you just want to delete that Friday swim in the pool that you miss because of a date with a beautiful girl / attractive young man without bad habits / an elderly millionaire who just made out his fortune on you. In this case, you will need to delete only one episode of the series, leaving all the rest untouched. The second option: you generally want to give up going to the pool, replacing them with visits to the gym - apparently, you still won't get a second Michael Phelps, and there is still a chance to surpass Schwarzenegger himself. In this case, you will need to agree with the system's proposal to delete the entire series of events. You can also compromise - delete only all subsequent events of the series, leaving the current and past intact.

By the way, the Calendar provides the same choice in case of changing the time and dates of recurring events - you can change them both for one episode and for the entire series. Quite reasonable. If your life is rich in events (I assure you, mine is just like that!), Then very soon you will begin to think that the overview of the affairs of the month from a bird's eye view is clearly not enough: the cherished rectangles in cubes-days are becoming too many, and the small print is bad read. Let's change focus! Pay attention to the tabs "Day", "Week", "Month", etc., located above the main area of the calendar.

These tabs allow you to change the view, switching from the most detailed analysis of the day back to the view of the month. In "day mode" you can see how tasks are distributed by hours and even minutes. A bright red stripe when viewing today symbolizes the current time - everything above it is already in the past. For the rest of the days, the hours and minutes are reminiscent of a small red triangle moving from top to bottom along the time scale. In the day view mode, it is convenient to change the duration of tasks without even touching the keyboard - just pull the small slider resembling the "=" symbol and located at the very bottom of the event. By the way, in the day and week modes, you can create events by simply highlighting the desired time area with the mouse. Once you get used to this method, such an operation will take less and less time from you. After all, all that remains in this case is to enter the name of the event and click "OK".

All-day tasks are in a dedicated area above the timeline. Everything is correct - after all, they do not refer to specific hours and minutes and therefore can occur at any moment. The weekly plan, as you might guess, shows all seven days of the week in a row. Such a regime will be useful to people who are used to evaluating the work plan for a week in advance: from experience I know that such a regime is preferred by workers of factories and large enterprises - their activities are subordinated precisely to the weekly cycle. Do you know what week it is? And these people know for sure.

The compromise between daily and weekly views is the 4 days tab. By selecting it, you will see exactly four columns on the screen. It is very convenient that the number of days or weeks on this tab can be changed - just go to the settings and specify the desired value. You can choose from two days to four weeks (the "Default view mode" parameter).

The last tab is the most interesting. No wonder it is called "Agenda"! Its task is to consistently output the activities planned for the near future. Click on a bookmark and you will be presented with a list of to-do's and appointments in the immediate future. By clicking on any action, you can, as in any other tab, view the details of the event and, if necessary, change it. The “Agenda” tab is convenient to use if you need to quickly assess the scale and number of cases without exact reference to time. It is also convenient to start your working day with it. Initially, Calendar displays a list of 12 upcoming events for each of the calendars, warning that the set is limited to a particular date. You can view further events by clicking on the "Later" link at the bottom of the screen.

Remember, I said that I do not recommend adding a tricky encoding to their names for dividing tasks into projects? It's just not necessary here at all. Instead, take advantage of the calendars functionality. The fact is that there can be several calendars in the Calendar (I apologize for the involuntary, but obligatory tautology). Yes, you only have one for the main events so far. But the joy is that you can create as many calendars as you want and link your events to them! This approach is fraught with many advantages, and now I will try to convince you of them. Plus number one: you can choose your own color for each calendar (and therefore events).

Remember the visualization I talked about in the Tables articles? Everything is the same here: critical tasks can be attributed to the "Important!" Calendar, which is shining in inviting red, and professional holidays and optional events, on the contrary, should be included in the "Events" calendar, painted in neutral gray! Plus number two: calendars can be turned off. It is enough to click on one of them - the colored background strip will disappear, and all related events will disappear from the timeline. Moreover, notifications about them will no longer be sent to you! Obviously, it is worth turning off any reminders of business meetings for the duration of your vacation - it will be difficult to get to them, wallowing on the hot sand of a Thai beach, right?

Another huge benefit of maintaining multiple calendars is that the notification modes for each can be configured independently. Therefore, no one bothers to set a reminder mode by SMS for the “Meeting with friends” calendar two hours before gatherings in a cafe, while for the “Birthday” calendar it is reasonable to set up sending reminders by e-mail a couple of days before the significant date, so as not to forget to find a worthwhile gift for the birthday boy.

To set up a new calendar, you need to click on the "Create" link under the "My calendars" list. Further work is proceeding according to the usual scheme. In the window that appears, indicate the name of the calendar. Remember that it will be displayed in a very small window, and therefore should not be too long. You can practice written Russian and mention all the details in the "Description" field. The "Location" column, generally speaking, serves to indicate the location of the events, but if you cannot write anything meaningful there, you can leave it empty. The Calendar Time Zone field is very important.

If you yourself live in Moscow, and the events marked in the calendar will have Novosibirsk time (for example, because this is what your friends from the Siberian capital mean when they report the opening time of the scientific conference in Akademgorodok), then in order to to avoid confusion and recalculation of hours back and forth, you should select the required country and time zone from the drop-down lists. Initially, there is the belt specified in the general settings. An interesting point: if, for example, Russia is selected as the country, and the "Show all time zones" checkbox is off, then in the "Now select a time zone" field we will see only the zones belonging to our vast homeland. The enabled checkbox allows you to select any time zone of planet Earth without reference to a specific country.

Don't want to tell people about such detailed details? Check the box "Open access only to information about free and busy time" - and the details of events will be hidden, only the dates and hours of your employment will remain. I will tell you a little bit later about how to publish this information on my website. If the circle of people whom you want to share with the details of your own schedule is known in advance, then instead of sharing it is more reasonable to use the option "Sharing for individual users".

In the proposed fields, the e-mail addresses of friends and colleagues and the level of their access to the calendar are sequentially entered - from the maximum (participants can both make changes to the calendar and, in turn, provide access to it to other people) to the minimum detailed (viewing free and busy time). Have you created a calendar? Now it should appear in your list, and you can specify it when creating new events. Want to change the color of your calendar? Click on the small triangle to the right of its name and match the color to your aesthetic preference. Let's set up the calendar notification mode. In the same drop-down menu, select the "Notifications" item and set one or more alert modes for upcoming events.

In addition to our own calendars, we always have a wonderful opportunity to connect open calendars of third-party users and companies. Indeed, why bother to drive in the schedule of matches of the World Cup, if it had been started long ago by other "tiffozi", providing detailed information about the participants and the venue? It couldn't be easier: the functionality of the so-called public calendars allows you to view data created by others just like your own. Pay attention to the list of "Other calendars". It is initially empty. In the drop-down menu "Add" we are offered several installation options: adding so-called "interesting" calendars, adding a friend's calendar, adding by URL and, finally, importing from a file.

Popular calendars were created for our benefit and pleasure by Google employees and are divided into three sections. The "Holidays" section allows you to choose one of several dozen schedules of national holidays of the peoples of the world. Russian holidays are also present here - however, this calendar does not shine with details, and only the most important significant dates are taken into account in it. The section "Sports" will give, for example, an opportunity to follow the schedule of matches of your favorite team in hockey, football and even cricket. By the way, there is also a calendar of matches for the teams of the Russian Football Premier League. The "Extras" tab contains calendars on a variety of topics - here you can find both the sunrise and sunset times for the current time zone, and the display of the week number of the year, as well as the birthdays of people from your Gmail contact list!

The Add by URL option is perhaps the most versatile. Google Calendars perfectly understand the iCal file calendar format, and therefore, in the field that appears, you can simply enter the address of such a file located on any site that provides such information. One example of such sites is http://www.icalshare.com, which contains several thousand calendars on various topics. Finally, the last option to import a calendar is from a file. The iCal file can be exported from almost any modern calendar manager, be it Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Sunbird. That is why importing files can easily solve the problem of migrating from conventional "desktop" calendars to their more advanced online counterpart. Just select the file you want, indicate which calendar you want to add the information to, and click the "Import" button.

Another surprise for the readers of our site - I have prepared an excellent calendar of Russian holidays, which every Google Calendar user can add to their schedule! The list of holidays is taken from the wonderful service http://www.calend.ru, which tells about important dates of many peoples of the world, and now you will not be taken by surprise by Easter, the harsh Day of the Airborne Forces or the hooligan joy about Ivan Kupala. Just add another one to the list of calendars located at http://b23.ru/s0r3 using the "Add by URL" function - and you will no longer need to remember which day of the week this year the New Year or the First May.

But let's get back to customizing your own calendars again. See - the parameters window has changed a bit? Indeed, at the time the calendar was entered, several options were missing. One is the ability to post a link to the calendar on your website. To do this, you need to copy the code specified in the "Insert this calendar" field and place it on the desired place on the site or blog. Previously, the appearance of the calendar can be adjusted to the design and color scheme of your resource by selecting the required color and size using the link "Adjust color, size and other parameters."

Closed calendars are a completely different matter! For each of them, a "secret" address is created, which it is desirable to keep secret and share it only with reliable people. However, even if the secret has become apparent, the old secret path to the file can always be erased or replaced with a new one - for this you need to select the "Reinstall closed URLs" item. It is worth sending links to calendars to friends if they do not have a Google account or use another calendar program. In all other cases, it is much more convenient to configure access rights using the "Open access to the calendar" tab.

In today's lesson, we will make a reminder of any event or plans for the future for ourselves, beloved only by means of Windows without using third-party programs.

The instructions for creating reminders will be long, although in essence everything is done quite simply, you just need to delve a little into the sequence of actions. As an example, I will cite today's situation, when in a new letter I received an invitation to a webinar which I can simply forget about in the evening, because there are a lot of things planned for today.

Because I have a lot of different software installed on my computer for work, then I just don't want to overload the system by installing another program for reminders. And why put too much when Windows 7 and higher already have the necessary functionality. Of course, not as wide as we would like and may not be very convenient, but if you do not plan to create dozens of reminders every day, then Windows Task Scheduler is enough for you.

Let's get started: by the way, for Windows 7 and 8, the instruction is equally relevant, in fact, it is the same operating system only with a different interface and, accordingly, different paths to the control panel.

Windows Task Scheduler

Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Task Scheduler

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Task Scheduler

Create a reminder on Windows

Create a simple task

On the left, select the task scheduler (local), and in the right window, click on the link Create a simple task ...

In the field name: write the name of the reminder for yourself. In the description field: a description of the task.

Trigger: Accordingly, in my situation, I need a one-time reminder, if you need regular reminders, we tick the corresponding checkboxes.

At this step, we set the date and time of the start of the task, in other cases (regular) you will have a choice of the start and end of the task, as well as the days of the week, date and time of each execution.

In order not to forget what will be discussed, I create myself a task in the form of displaying a message on the screen.

At the end of creating a task, do not forget to tick the checkbox below Open the "Properties" window after clicking the Finish button.

We finished creating a reminder, you can check it: on the left in the planner window, click scheduler library and in the middle at the bottom of the list we see our task and its parameters.

When the reminder is triggered, such a window with your message will appear in the center of the monitor.

Upon completion of the task creation, the properties window will open. we checked the corresponding checkbox. at the top, click the Conditions button and uncheck the checkbox Stop when changing to battery power so that if you are using a laptop and running on batteries, the task will not be canceled.

Below you can check the box so that a sleeping laptop or tablet would wake up from hybrid mode and complete the task. But keep in mind that if in terms of power supply your system is configured to enter a password on wake-up, then the task will not be completed until you log in to the system.

Disadvantages of this method: Unfortunately, if at this time any program is running on behalf of the administrator, then the message window will be in the background, and in the quick access panel you will see a blinking button. And the reminder window is quite small and is not accompanied by sound design.

Therefore, we simply create a second task that will run in parallel with the first.

Create an additional sound reminder

We repeat the above procedure until the step where we selected the item Display message but this time we choose Run the program... do not forget that the date and time of the second reminder must be the same as the first.

Click the Browse button

In the explorer that opens, select any media file. You can open both audio and video, just check first if this file opens with a standard player. And be sure to adjust the system volume and the volume of the player to the desired range, otherwise unexpectedly loud music ... well, you understand 🙂 ( not a bad option to pin a friend)

We look again at the parameters of the created task.

Now, on the right day and hour, you will receive two reminders at once: first of all, you will hear your favorite music, which you have chosen, played by the player, and when you close the player, a window with a message will flaunt behind us.

Another reminder option

Well, here's another reminder for you: create a word document on the desktop, it is desirable to make the orientation landscape, but it will do and what it is, write the desired message and set the largest font. When creating a task, instead of a media file, we indicate this Word document. Or you can just create another task with this document.

Thus, at rush hour we listen to music, see a message in large print in Word in half of the screen and also a system message :). That is to say, a triple control or triple reminder in Windows 7 or 8 is created literally in one minute. Give it a try and make sure it's pretty simple.

And for testing at the bottom right, you can click the execute button - a green triangle (see screenshot 9.)

A quick note on how to create a recurring event reminder.

It could be a friend's birthday, a regular loan payment, or any other monthly or annual event that you can forget about by chance.

Many Google users are aware of a tool like Google Calendar. I would describe it as follows: convenient, ugly, functional, cross-platform, there are widgets for operating systems.

If you have a Google account and are logged in to any of its services, you can get to the calendar from the top navigation menu:
In addition, if you are actively using GMail, then you can install the following widget:

Create a reminder

We go directly into the application itself and click the "Create" button.
I have an English interface for all Google products, so the screenshots will be in English.
But in the Russian version, everything is the same, so don't worry.

The window for creating an event opens:

In the date field, enter the date of the event, check the “All day” box, optionally fill in the “Where” and “Description” fields:

To create an annual reminder, click the “Repeat” checkbox and enter the necessary settings in the pop-up window, in particular: the recurrence frequency, the date from which to start tracking and the end date of the event:

Press the "Done" button to save the repeat settings.

After that, we set up notifications that will come before the event occurs:

In my case, an e-mail will come in a week and two SMS to the phone (3 days and a day). As you can see, everything is pretty simple.

It is worth recalling that if you are using a group calendar with someone, for example, with a wife, then you can set the visibility of the calendar to other participants. This is done here:

Now our event is visible in the calendar itself:

In a widget in GMail:

And in the Google Calendar widget for Android.

As in all services of the company, the synchronization of the Google calendar occurs automatically with any change.

It can play the role of not only a mail client, but also a scheduler, one of the main tasks of which is to alert the user about upcoming appointments. In order to create a reminder in Outlook, you will need to follow a few simple steps. Then you can forget about the task, the program itself will remind you of it at the appointed time.

How to create a reminder in Outlook for yourself

For better self-organization, use the Tasks section. With its help, you will be able to form lists of necessary tasks for a certain period of time, as well as monitor the process of their implementation:

Open the section and double-click on any blank line.
In the window that opens, enter an explanation, set a start date and due date, set the severity level and status (just created or in progress).
Set the "checkbox" next to the "Reminder" item and set the time at which the program should launch the notification.
After forming all the parameters, click the "Save and close" button.

How to make a reminder in Outlook for another user

You can remind a colleague of an important matter using an e-mail and for this there is no need to send letters to the mail every day. Create just one message in Outlook, attach a notification and be sure that it will be seen at the appointed time:

Together with the letter, the attached reminder will go away, which will be activated on the user's computer at a specified time.

One of the oldest iPhone features, which is not used by every gadget owner, is a reminder of birthdays and anniversaries. Appropriate notification will allow you to buy a gift for a loved one in advance or not forget to congratulate a work colleague or friend.

Unfortunately, this feature is disabled by default on newer iPhones.

Entering data about birthdays manually

First, the smartphone needs to provide data on all memorable dates. If they are not fixed anywhere, you will have to drive them in manually for each contact.

1. Open the contact card in the application Telephone or Contacts and press Change in the upper right corner.
