When a Task is assigned to a User, the system can send the User an Email notifying them of the Assigned Task. Users can choose in their Activity Settings whether or not each individual User wants to receive these Task notifications. Additionally, Reminders can be set for a specific Date and Time. A Reminder will pop-up onscreen for the User when the Task Reminder is due.
