The scheduling function allows you to schedule your own event reminders to be scheduled, to help you stay on top of management tasks.

You can create reminders for regular appointments or works to be booked - and for such events as block inspections and annual directors meetings.

When scheduled reminders reach their due date, they are flagged as tasks on the Organiser - and will remain that way until action is taken on the task.
