First Tacks #2 – Creating reminders

Now that you have added equipment on board, here is a second tip on how to get the most out of Ready4Sea.

Remembering when to do what

The tricky bit, when you start having a variety of equipment on board, is remembering when it needs attention 😔

Of course, we’re talking about preventive maintenance for your equipment. Well before it painfully catches up with you in the event of a breakdown or failure 😫

💡 Ready4Sea therefore lets you add one or more reminders for each piece of equipment. This constitutes its maintenance plan.

Create a reminder in three easy steps

Now let’s look at how to add a new reminder.

1. Start creating a reminder

➡️ From the equipment view or your boat view, select “+ Add a reminder”.
ℹ️ This action is also available on your personal profile, called up by ⋮ in the top right-hand corner.

2. Enter the reminder’s object and characteristics

➡️ First of all, choose whether this reminder will apply to :
– a specific piece of equipment, and which one,
– the boat overall (ideal for a chart subscription or insurance policy),
– yourself (e.g. for a licence or membership).
ℹ️ A number of fields allow you to choose the title of the task, its priority, any notes and a location.

3. Specify the due date and frequency

➡️ Crucial information about a reminder: the due date needs to be given.
➡️ And since many tasks are recurring, you can also specify how often you want to be reminded before confirming.

Next steps

🥳 Congratulations, you now know how to create reminders.

NB: For performance and stability reasons, we limit the number of reminders displayed on the global display. But they are all recorded, even if they are several years old.

👉 In the next issue, we’ll show you how to run down a checklist.
