With row-level reminders, you can alert yourself or others about specific tasks in your sheet. For example, set a reminder for the estimated start date on a specific task to stay on track with your project.
Create row-level reminders
To create a row-level reminder:
-
On the row you’d like to set a reminder for, select the bell icon in the row action indicator column
If you’ve never set a reminder before, you’ll need to right-click the row number and select Set Reminder... from the context menu.
The New Reminder window appears
-
Select Save
You’ve now created a row-level reminder to alert yourself of this task. For any row with a reminder, you’ll see the bell icon in the Row Action Indicators column
