Reminders
Reminders are an indispensable function of our tablet, and of our system in general. We view them as a teaching tool and understand them to have proven useful for most/many of our clients. They are typically paired with/trigger alongside a notification bulb, illuminating in a certain customizable color so as to draw the Individual's attention to the fact that there is now information present on their tablet.
Reminders will need to be either confirmed or denied by the Individual using the tablet, which will then log the event ("Confirmed or Denied") to the Activity Logs viewable on either the Activity Page or the Location Details Page.
Reminders can either be set up as Recurring or One-Off; these are self-explanatory.
Reminders offer both a field for entering a speech message (audibly delivered by the tablet upon the Reminder activating) as well as an additional message that will present as the main text of the Reminder. These messages do not have to be the same.
