Get a reminder before an event
To add a reminder, open the event in Calendar and click Enable next to Reminder. Set how many minutes before the event it should go and click Save. You get a notification in webmail while you are signed in, and on your phone because the XgenPlus mobile app syncs your calendar to the phone's calendar.
