Calendar and Task reminders

In Outlook Web Access, you can set reminders on your appointments, meetings, and tasks. You can determine how long before an appointment or a meeting the reminder message appears, or determine the day and time when a reminder message appears before a task is due.


Note:

For calendar reminders to work, Enable reminders for Calendar items must be selected in the OWA Options area. For task reminders to work, Enable reminders for Task items must be selected in the OWA Options area. After you enable reminders, you can choose to have a sound accompany the reminder.


Dismiss or snooze reminders

When the Reminder dialog box opens, it lists all Calendar and Task items for which reminders aren't dismissed. Subject lists the name of the item, and Due In indicates how long until the item starts or is due. If the scheduled time for a meeting or appointment or the due date for a task is passed, the reminder indicates how long the item is overdue.

Dismissing a reminder closes the reminder and ends all future reminders for the selected item. To dismiss a reminder select one or more items, and then click Dismiss. To dismiss all items, click Dismiss All.


Tip:

To view the details of an item, select it and click Open Item .


If you don't want to dismiss a reminder, you can set it to snooze. Snoozing closes the current reminder temporarily. After a period of time that you designate (the default is five minutes), the reminder opens again.
