How can we improve Alma?

Add notifications to Alma reminders

I appreciate the addition of the Reminders in Alma, but I think it would be even more useful if reminders could trigger email notifications when the reminder date has arrived.

    Is there any update on this development? I currently do not see it listed in my tasks widget but this "accepted" status was from 2022 so one would assume this has been developed. Am I missing something?

    I would prefer a task list, myself. That way whoever is covering the task list can see the notification, even if the person who created the reminder is on three weeks' vacation or has left the institution.

    Email reminders, yes. That's where most of us still live....

    I'm more in favor of an email reminder, but widget would work well too.

    I also like the option for email reminders, a widget or a task list. Peeps work differently so being able to customize the reminder option for how you work improves productivity.

    I agree with adding an email or widget. I don't want to have to remember to go check reminders on a daily basis. And there should be a way to disable the emails, if a user sets reminders for everything and does not want to receive numerous emails.

    I agree with these suggestions. The option for email reminders, a widget, and a task list would be so helpful.

  • Annika Vroomen commented  · 

    A widget, where you can filter your reminder types and status, would be really helpful!

  • Anna Lawless-Collins commented  · 

    I would love a task list for these, and an email would be super helpful.

  • Caroline O'Halloran commented  · 

    Agreed, if they popped up on a widget or the task list that would be ideal.

  • e Shu commented  · 

    Yes, I agree on seeing it on task list or widgets.

  • e Shu commented  · 

    yes. I agree on seeing on the task list or widget!

    I'm with Gala - I would prefer a widget that we could then display on the Alma dashboard so that it is right there in front when users log in.

  • Gala Lackey commented  · 

    I'd prefer task list or widgets. I'm drowning in notifications.

  • Rebecca Bearden commented  · 

    I agree that this would be a great enhancement to reminders. Perhaps they could show up on the task list?
