IMExchange 2

Best Done in Outlook

Your daily review works best in Outlook, but you can do it in IMExchange 2 if you are careful.

Each morning, IMExchange 2 may show you a Reminder Alert list. This is your hotlist. Tap View to see it, then follow these steps to go through your hotlist:

Do Not Exit the List!

If you leave the Reminder Alert list before finishing your daily review, there is no way to return to it. Set these items to High priority (or re-process) immediately.

Do Not Exit the List!

Appointment reminders are separate on IMExchange 2. When they appear, dismiss them ONLY if the appointment has been honored. if not, snooze or skip them until you honor the appointment.

  1. Open each task reminder.
  2. If NOT doing a mobile daily review: This task reminder is a duplicate. Press or tap Dismiss (lower left).
  3. Otherwise: Tap the option to edit the task. The task is now open for daily review.
  4. If you will do the task today, flag it as Do Today (High Priority), Tap Reminder, and Set it to Off.
  5. If you will not do it today, reschedule the task, including the Reminder.
  6. Tap Done (if needed) and then Save.

Note: You only see tasks in the hotlist after processing them (explained in the Processing lessons).

Pocket Informant for iPhone/iPad/iTouch

For your hotlist, iPhone/iPad Notifications might work, although they are finicky. If those alerts pop up, tap View and set the task to High Priority to move it to the Do Today list.

An even better hotlist for PocketInformant is the Due Today/Tomorrow list. Here is how to go through that hotlist:

  1. Tap Groups at upper left, scroll down to Filters at bottom.
  2. Tap Due Today/Tomorrow.
  3. Open each task with a Reminder (alarm bell) on the screen).
  4. Tap Edit. The task is now open for daily review.
  5. If you will do the task today, flag it as Do Today (High Priority), scroll to the bottom, Tap the cirle to the left of the Alarm, and tap Delete.
  6. If you will not do it today, reschedule the task, including the Alarm.
  7. Tap Done to save your changes.
  8. Tap Groups at upper left and select All Active to return to your main task list.

Note: You only see tasks in the hotlist after processing them (explained in the Processing lessons).
