Create an event

Press Create to start entering a new event, which consists of these parts

Name — the title that displays in the events page, email. Notifications, etc

Time and date — we use a 12 hour clock with AM and PM

Public or private — Public events are viewable by anyone who has been assigned to it on the teams page. They can see it on the Events screen, the Edit screen, and notification and email alerts. Any team members assigned to an event can edit it.

Private events are only viewable by the person who created it. Werther they are the team admin or not. Team members can create personal events that are not seen by their admin or other team members.

Team — Members of the team who also receive alerts for this event. Each event can have it’s own selection of team members

Temporarily silencing an event’s alerts

You can stop an event from being included in alters (notifications and emails)

Press the Edit nav bar option to go to the Edit events screen. Pressing anywhere in the table or the small next arrow will edit that event.

Pressing the green toggle control will turn off all notifications for the whole team including you, until it is turned on again.

Editing an event

Any team member who is assigned to an event can edit it.

To edit an event press anywhere in the table, or the small next arrow on the right hand side.

Note that the time for reminder alerts is completely independent of event times. DoReMinder (on its default setting) sends out a daily notification to Apple and Android phones once a day. The time of the notifications is set in Settings.

Settings is only available on the main Events screen.

Reminder alerts schedule

Frequency

The frequency can be daily or weekly.

In daily mode any day can be selected. All seven days, only the working week days, or Monday, Wednesday and Saturday if you wish.

In weekly mode a single day is selected.

Time

If 9:00am is selected, you will receive a notification at the that time, at the frequency you selected, telling you how many days, or hours if the event is today, there are until the next event.

If an event is the same day but before the hour of the notification then it is considered past and won't be shown.

Final hour notification

If the toggle is set to on then all events will send a “One hour left” notification one hour before the event time. It does not affect emails.

If an event is at 12:00pm and the Reminder alerts Frequency is set to 9:00am, then you’ll receive the first notification then, and a second notification saying an hour to go at 11:00am.

Final hour notifications are the only alerts that are synced to event times. Currently they are either on for all events, or off, they can’t be assigned to only a particular event.

Switching from Single to Teams plans

All you have to do to switch to the Team plan from the Single plan is add a member. Once they have created their account your billing will automatically be adjusted on the next cycle.

Who is Admin?

Whoever invites the first team member becomes admin, and their Paypal account will be debited for all team members.

Admin and team member privileges

Only the admin can invite another team member as the addition needs to be verified with the Paypal account owner. All members can view other member details. You are a team after all.

Please contact us if you need different privileges for admin and team members.

Event ownership

Events are owned by whoever created them, not the admin. For public events there is no real difference in who created an event, unless the subscription is canceled and then all events will revert to being visible to their owners only.

Number of team members

Team members are only counted once they have registered, not when they are invited. If you invite 5 people but only 4 register with the app, then you will only be billed for 4.

Can existing accounts join my team?

Currently an email address can only be a member of one team. Please contact us if you have the requirement for adding an existing Single user to your Team plan.

Plans

There are three plans

Free — A single user (you) can use the app for free, receiving notifications and email, but only for five events at a time. Once you have five events you will have to wait for an event to pass before adding another.

Single user — As above but with unlimited events. The first month is free, then it’s $3.50 a month, the price of a coffee.

Team — You can add team members, who receive notifications and email. Any event can have any combination of team members.

We count any team members you added during the current billing monthly cycle, and on the next payment date use the new total for the billing.

Canceling your subscription

If you cancel a Single user subscription, on the next billing date you will be limited to five simultaneous events only, those created first.

If you cancel a Teams subscription, on the next billing date you and all the members of your team will be limited to five simultaneous events only, those created first. Team members will only see the events they created.

Reinstalling the app

If you have to reinstall the app, enter your email address and use “I’m new here” option, enter the code we email you. DoReMinder will recognise your email and your events and team members will be restored.
