2.2 Indepth understanding of the "Add Reminder" Pop-up

Congratulations on successfully adding a reminder on the Confluence page!

Next, let’s take a closer look at the "Add Reminder" pop-up you just saw.

(1) Format of the due date reminder column

The drop-down option displays the date format configured by the Confluence administrator in the “Table Reminders - Date Format Configuration”. If you need more date formats, please contact the administrator.

Select the date format used for the date you just filled in the table. For example: the date format you just filled in the form is "2020-12-25", you can select "yyyy-MM-dd" here.

Note: If you entered Confluence's built-in date macro when editing the page, you need to select: date macro.
