[sirclueless]

Hi,
is there a Reminder function in Alfresco? If not I have a problem :roll:  . I need a reminder function in alfresco. For example if a document get invalid at 2007, i will get a reminder email 2 weeks before the document become invalid. I hope you understand what I`m searching for. Maybe there is an reminder plugin or such a thing.

Thx for help and answer

Thx for your fast help. But I thought to a Reminder plugin that if I have add a Content I can do a action on this Content (Reminder Action)  !Then I can choose a date and if this date is reach, a email will send to a person or a popup with this information should appear on the screen.
I hope you understand what I mean with a Reminder function and maybe there is a Plugin for,or?

One approach you can take:

1) Define yourself a Reminder aspect - this can have at least a reminder date property
2) Customise the web client to show/edit the properties of the Reminder Aspect
3) Define a rule on appropriate spaces to add the Reminder aspect
4) Define a scheduled action that queries for the reminder date property where it's within range of today's date

When a user adds content into the space, the reminder aspect is added automatically.  The "create content" wizard will allow the user to enter the reminder date.

At some point the scheduled action will locate a reminder date within range and perform whatever action was configured (e.g. send e-mail).
