Home → Reminder 365 → Creating an alert based on a calculated date field
|
Greetings! We have a list, which has a date field. We want to send out email reminders to people two weeks before the date is reached. I attempted to do this with Reminder 365 out of the box, but then I decided to create a calculated column, which subtracts 14 days from the aforementioned date field. However, when I attempt to create an alert, I am not able to pick the calculated column. Any help you can provide is much appreciated :) |

Hi Tony Reminder 365 doesn't support calculated column date fields at the moment. I've added your 'vote' to our Feature Request list and should this be added in future we will let you know. Sorry it wasn't better news. |

hi Ryan, Thanks for your help. Typing in the date by hand isn't a huge deal, so I think we should be fine for now. I'll keep an eye on Reminder 365 to see if the feature gets included in a future update. -Tony |

Hi Tony, Just a quick note to let you know that you can now use calculated date/time fields in Reminder 365. Be sure to click "Refresh" on the bottom of your site/list/view tree to pick up the fields e.g. - http://sharepoint-alert.com/files/2013/04/image07.png |
