How to always automatically assign own, customized, phased notification scheme to new events?

Post by pstein »

When I create a new event I always have to add manually notifications and setup notifications frequency.

Thats tedious and user unfriendly.

I want to setup my own notification schema "myscheme" as follows:

- from now until 1 month before event: remind my once a month
- from 1 month before event until 1 week before event: remind me once a week
- from 1 week before event until 1 day before event: remind be every 2 days
- from 1 day before until 2 hours before event: remind my every 4 hours
- from 2 hours before event until event remind my every 20 minutes

This event scheme should always automatically be assigned to every new event I define.

How can I achieve this?

If this is currently not possible: Can this feature be added in the next release?

Thank you
Peter

The functionality you mentioned can be partially achieved by using event templates. However, currently, there is no way to set up the scheme exactly as described. This feature may be added in future versions.

Thank you.
As far as I can see a Template comprises the "Reminder" setup as well as the "Repeat every" setup.

Just set up the reminders the way you'd like them to work and save your settings as a template.
