The DigiDay Reminder is a compact program that gives you just about everything you might need in a reminder application, including scheduling programs such as backups and virus scans to run any time you want. When combined with the DigiDay Clock, you get a package that is both convenient and powerful.
To use the program for the first time, simply press the "New" button to add
new reminders. Look at the descriptions below to get an idea of the different
things you can do. Everything is pretty self-explanatory, except for a few
concepts which are explained in detail where appropriate.
Click the Today button to show just today's reminders.
Click the All Reminders button to view all your reminders (past, present, and far into the future).
#Days indicates the number of days before or after the current date that the reminder is/was set for. For instance, "(9)" was due nine days ago, "----" is due today, and "1" is due tomorrow.
Date displays the calendar day the reminder was set for.
Alarm displays the time the alarm was set for that reminder.
Ntc displays the number of days notice you get in advance of the reminder’s due date. For instance, 7 means that you’ll start seeing the reminder 7 days in advance.
Nag displays important reminders that will remain in the list area until you delete it.
Freq displays the frequency in which the reminder is displayed. For example, a birthday would be displayed as "1 yr" where a mortgage payment would be displayed as "1 mo".
Reminder displays the reminder text that you entered on the "New Reminder" screen.
Click the Cycle button to move the reminder forward by the frequency it is set to. For instance, cycling a birthday set for October 16, 1997 would reset the reminder to October 16, 1998. Most reminders cycle themselves automatically -- for them, you won't have to concern yourself with the Cycle button. But, at your discretion, you can set a reminder to "Nag" you, which means that it does not cycle itself automatically: you always have to do it. This is a great feature for reminders related to paying bills, for instance. You want to make sure you keep seeing the reminder until you've actually paid that bill!
Click the New button to add a new reminder via the New Reminder screen. You can also perform this function by simply pressing the Insert key.
Click the Edit button to change a reminder via the Edit a reminder screen. Note: You must first select a row prior to clicking the Edit button. You can also perform this function by simply pressing the Enter (or Return) key.
Click the Delete button to remove a reminder. Note: You must select a row prior to clicking the Delete button. You can also perform this function by simply pressing the Delete key. Once you delete a reminder, there is no "undo" to get it back, so be careful.
