Set reminders for recurring rules

You can set reminders for repetition rules, which are then displayed to the employee in the mobile device.

If, for example, you set a schedule for a task or tour, you have the option of creating reminders for it, which are displayed on the app according to the schedule you have entered, so that the employee can no longer forget or overlook a tour or task that is due. To do this, simply create a tour or task and then click on the Scheduling tab for tours and on Create schedule rule for tasks.

Below we explain how to create the reminder function:

A tour or task can be carried out at any time. If you would like to set specific times, please click on + Add schedule rule.
