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 form. 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.
(2) Due date reminder column
"Due date reminder column" will show the column(s) of the table on the page which match the date formats you had selected in the above step. Choose the column(s) you want to add the reminder.
(3) Reminder time
It is the time you wish to receive the reminder.
You can choose the default time, or you can enter any time you prefer (following formats such as 14:25, 1425).
(4) Select reminder scheme(s)
By default, only punctual reminder scheme selected. You can click the "New reminder scheme" button to add new reminder schemes as you need.
Punctual Reminder
You will receive a reminder on the exact date you specified in the table or the "reminder date" if it is a page reminder at the exact time you set in the configuration page.
Remind in Advance
Click the "New reminder scheme" button to add a new reminder scheme.
With "Day" as the unit, you can set the repeat frequency basing one day(s).
With "week" as the unit, you can choose certain days of the week as well as the repeat frequency basing one week(s)
With "month" as the unit, you can choose certain days of the month as well as the repeat frequency basing one month(s)
Note: Repeating reminders "every 3 days" means: 2 days after the previous reminder. Same for weeks and months.
Display recently used reminder schemes
After checking the box, it will display the reminder schemes you had recently added, and you can avoid creating the same shemes and to directly choose the exsited reminder schemes.
(5) Continue reminding after Due Date
After the due date, it will continue to send reminders for number of days specified here.
(6) Recipient
Configure the "Recipient" of the reminder. Options available: page creator, last modifier, page followers, other users.
