Setting reminders

Post by lemuzz »

Hi. I am a long time user of EPIM and am very happy with it as it does all I require. I am wanting to install a new copy in a friends tablet but I cannot find where I can set up a reminder for selected birthdays like I could in my earlier version. I dont require all birthdays to have a reminder only selective ones. Thanks for a well thought out App.

Simply go in your selected contact. At the upper right of the page, set your birthday date and reminder.

I must have a different version. I go to contacts and press the pencil symbol (upper right)which gives me a list which includes additional fields. Click birthday and I get a list of additional fields like anniversary job title etc. but nothing as shown above

I see ! You have EssentialPIM for Android 4.1.5

If I may suggest, you should post in the Android section in this case. I can't help as I do not use it ! Sorry.

Hi. I have installed EssentialPIM 4.2 Beta 2. which I believe is the Test Version.
When loading birthdays in the "Contacts " field, I cannot find where to set a reminder for selected dates. I realise there is a global reminder setting but in many cases I dont want to be notified for every entry, just those I need to know.

Thanks, noted, will probably add this functionality in the nearest future.
