Setting up automatic activity reminders

Question

In earlier versions, we used to get automatic reminders about activities (for the owner and the reporter). It does not work any longer.

Answer

This functionality can be implemented via extension of existing methods in the activity edit page schema:

methods: {
   setRemindCustom: function() {
      if (this.get("StartDate")) {
         var remindToOwnerDate = this.get("StartDate");
         remindToOwnerDate = Ext.Date.add(remindToOwnerDate, Ext.Date.MINUTE, -15);
 
         var remindToAuthorDate = this.get("StartDate");
         remindToAuthorDate = Ext.Date.add(remindToAuthorDate, Ext.Date.MINUTE, -15);
 
         this.set("RemindToOwner", true);
         this.set("RemindToAuthor", true);
         this.set("RemindToOwnerDate", remindToOwnerDate);
         this.set("RemindToAuthorDate", remindToAuthorDate);
      }
   },
   onStartDateChanged: function() {
      this.callParent(arguments);
      this.setRemindCustom();
   },
   onEntityInitialized: function() {
      this.callParent(arguments);
      if (this.isAddMode() || this.isCopyMode()) {
         if (this.get("StartDate")) {
            this.setRemindCustom();
         }
      }
   }
},
