What are booking reminders used for?
Booking reminders are used to provide users a way of sharing a task list relating to individual bookings. A booking reminder should be applied to a booking when there is some 'task' outstanding e.g. 'Please call to confirm menu choice' or 'Cancel booking if they have not paid their deposit by ....'. This then allows all users to see the outstanding booking reminders on any date they are navigating to.
All booking reminders are listed on the reminder tab by due date which means that you can now manage your reminders and set due dates that will appear when you reach a certain date in time. This is a change to the listing in the old diary which simply listed all reminders in one list. However if you navigate forward in time you will see the reminders that are due on or prior to any particular date. This means that if you want to manage one list you can navigate forward in time and view the entire list of reminders.
