Independence has a facility to automatically set Reminders for
all the things that you need to do. For example a Reminder is created for every time sheet
that you set up. They are also set up to remind you to send in VAT Returns and PAYE
Returns. You can also set your own Reminders for personal and business events.
When the Reminders fall due, they are shown in the bottom half
of the Main Menu form as shown in the screen shot . As well as Reminders which are
due (old ones are highlighted in red), you can show those due in the near future (you
choose how far).
All the system created Reminders have a 'DO IT' button, which
will automatically open the appropriate form pre-filled with the data relating to the
event of which you are being reminded. If you carry out the operation the Reminder is
deleted. The date of the Reminder can be moved into the future, and the text can be changed
(although the action will not change).
If you wish, you can tell the system not to generate
Reminders, but we think that you will find them useful.
