3. Set the reminder time. The default options are Before 1 day, Before 2 days and Before 1 week. Click Add new to add another reminder. Reminders can be set up to 30 days or 4 weeks in advance.

Note: You can add as many reminder options as you like, but only three can be displayed when creating an event.

4. Select the reminder mode: Email and/or SMS. At least one mode must be selected.

Note: The messages use predefined templates and cannot be edited.

5. Click Save changes.

Reset to default settings – This option appears only if you have edited the default settings. Use it to remove your saved settings and restore the original defaults.
