To Enable Reminders

In MYOB Advanced, you can enable the use of reminders for tasks and events in the system. With these capabilities enabled, if the settings of a particular task or event have reminders turned on, the system generates the reminders. By default, the reminder functionality is disabled.

Important: When you save changes to the web.config file, the website is automatically restarted. Make sure that all users are warned about the restart so that they can save their documents in advance.

To Enable Reminders

  1. Open the web.config file for the site instance. Usually it is located in %Program Files%\MYOB Advanced\<instance name>, where <instance name> is the name of the application instance website.
  2. In the file, find the Reminder section, which has the following settings.
    <add key="ReminderVisible" value="false" /> <add key="ReminderRequestPeriod" value="60" /> <add key="ReminderActiveMode" value="false" />
  3. Change the following key values:
    • ReminderVisible to true
    • ReminderActiveMode to true
  4. Save the web.config file, which automatically restarts the website.

Next Steps

After you have enabled the reminder functionality in the system, you should configure access to the Reminder Dialog Box form for roles whose users use reminders. For more information on the configuration of roles, see Configuring User Roles.
