  Setting Reminders
Prev Next

Set reminders in Sitecore and you will be notified of anything you wish on a predefined date. Administrators can set reminders not only for themselves but also for other staff members, which is certainly a plus in a busy working environment.  

To set a reminder, go to the Content Editor » Review tab » Schedule chunk (see below).
