Reminders and due dates are probably one of the best ways to ensure action items are getting done on time. Whether you're working alone or with an entire team, having a deadline will encourage you to stay on track and prioritize your work accordingly.

🔔 Setting Space Reminders
Space Admins can set automatic reminders for all tasks created in the boards within their space. This means that each task which has a due date and a time will automatically have a reminder (notification) set for that due date and time.
This option is turned on by default in the admin's settings to ensure all members stay on top of their actions items. To change this:
💻 Web/ Desktop
Open your account's Settings from the top of your left side-bar.
Then, go to Space Settings.
Toggle to turn on/off.
Note: Space Reminders can be turned on from the web/desktop apps only.
