We’ve recently started using the new, multi-user backpack. Each user has their own calendar, and we have a few group calendars for group events. The issue is that if I say that I want a reminder for an event that is on my calendar, everyone in the account (who can see my calendar) also gets the reminder.

This creates a lot of confusion on the team, as people are receiving reminders for calendar items that they either know nothing about, or think they need to be involved in.

thanks,

Yeah, I’m getting exactly the same thing – there are four people in our account and everyone receives reminders about EVERYTHING which has made using BackPack so irritating that at least one of us has switched the reminders off.

We just pushed a change that lets calendar reminders be sent to everyone, only you, or selected people. Thanks for your continued support.

Like that. Can it be done for normal reminders too?

This is how the reminders function already works, Rich.

Thanks Sarah – this is one of those times where you look at something with your eyes but your brain does not register!

Call me crazy but I don’t see the changes…

DjD – this might be obvious but you are running a multi-user account?

Also, if the calendar you’re adding the event to isn’t shared, you won’t see multi-user reminder options. Your screenshot shows you only have one calendar, and that it isn’t shared.

Doh! Of course. Thanks Jeff.
I have a few iCal feeds but only 1 private Backpack Calendar. So private calendar -> only you get the reminder and used to be public calendar -> everyone got them, but now you have the option.
Brilliant!

Thanks for clearing it up.
