Adding New Reoccurring Alerts
Before adding a Reoccurring Alert, you must first determine who you want to set the alert for and make sure that individual has been added as a USER. Reoccurring alerts can be made for the employer (you) or the employee as a reminder to perform a certain task. Task can be set to repeat daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, Three times a year, Quarterly, Twice a year, annually, or not at all.
- Go to the Dashboard of the B-Productiv Plugin.
- Click on ADD A NEW ALERT.
- Enter the Notice that you want to assign. For example, “Please pay payroll taxes by the 15th of the month.”
- Assign this task to a User. Again, you can also assign alerts for yourself. If you do not see the User that you want to make and alert for, Go back to the WordPress Dashboard and make sure you see the individual under ALL USERS. Also, be sure that the individual is listed as an employee or the administrator (you). Reoccurring alerts cannot be set for Contractors, Subscribers, or Contributors.
- Choose the day that you want this alert to show on your calendar.
- Decide if this is an alert that you want to show up on your calendar on a regular basis. Choose YES or NO for REPEAT.
- Next, choose how often this Alert needs to be completed. You can only select NONE if you select NO under REPEAT. If you choose YES under REPEAT, then you must select a frequency.
- The Alert will only advance to the next date on the Calendar when you indicate that you have completed the current alert. For example, if your alert was , “Please pay payroll taxes by the 15th of the month” and you chose this to be a monthly alert, the alert will appear on the calendar for the next month, after you indicate that it was completed for this month. If there was an error in making this alert or if you no longer need a reminder about this activity, you can choose to DELETE the alert. Deleting the alert removes all instances of it from the Calendar.
