====== How to set reminder alert for an event ======

You can configure calendar to send you reminders at a specified time before an event starts. To do so:

1. Click on the link of the event (which you want to receive a reminder for) from the calendar.

3. You can choose whether to receive the reminder N minutes/hours/days before the time of the event (N can be any number). For example, if you want the reminder to be sent 1 day before, key in "1" in the provided field and "Day" as the period option.

4. You can maintain the "By" option as "My email" if you want to receive the reminder on your email. 

If you want to receive the reminder on another email address, you can choose "Other email", and key in the email address into the "Other Mail Address or Mobile No." field. Note that you can define two or more email addresses by separating them with commas.
