Creating a Customized Reminder
April 03 |
Would you like to be notified if specific conditions are met within your GP Company database?
For instance when a customer balance is over a specified limit?
GP has a way for you to set up customized reminders to alert you if:
A SmartList favorite meets the conditions that you have specified.
Your custom reminder can also be displayed as a Cue in the Hope Page.

1) Open the Reminder Preferences window: (Home>>User Preferences>> Reminder button)
You can also create a New Reminder in the To Do section on the Home page by clicking New Reminder
2) Choose New to open the Custom Reminder window.
You will see there are several Predefined Reminders you can set. You can also decide to Display as a Cue.
