a2. How do I add/remove/edit my contact list?

In the main window of AutoReminder, select Contact > Open Contact from the Main Menu.

The first time you make an appointment for the person, a new contact dialog will be invoked automatically. You can enter contact information there too.

a3. What is Voicent Gateway? Why do I need that?

Voicent Gateway is the product that makes it possible to link your computer to the telephone. For AutoReminder to function properly, Voicent Gateway has to be running.

a4. Why do I get a message saying it cannot connect to Voicent Gateway?

Please refer to the same question under Installation FAQ.

b1. Do I have to fill out all fields in the new appointment dialog?

No. The category and notes fields are optional.

b2. What if I don't want to make a reminder call for an appointment?

Simply un-check the "Call This Number" checkbox in the edit appointment dialog.

Of course. Just type in the phone number in the appropriate field.

c1. How do I change the start/end time of an appointment?

You can change any information of an appointment by invoking the edit appointment dialog. To invoke the dialog: (1) double click on the appointment, or (2) select the appointment first, then select Appointment --> Open Appointment from the main menu, or (3) click the Open icon on the toolbar.

d1. Can I import appointments from other software products?

Yes, you have three options:

(1). Create import files from other software product. The format of the file must conform to the required AutoReminder format. Please refer to Import Appointments.

(2). If the software product cannot produce the file format required by AutoReminder, a conversion program is required. Voicent can create a customized program for you. Please contact our sales for a quote.

(3). Directly integrate AutoReminder such that appointments are added to AutoReminder automatically. This approach can eliminate the manual import. However, it normally requires more development work. You can contact your software vendor or us for such services.

d2. Can I access appointments from other machines on the same network?

Yes, use the Enterprise Edition.

d3. I am a developer. How can I integrate my product with AutoReminder?

You have a few choices:

(1). Use Openweb Access. You can use any program language, as long as it can post an HTTP request.

(2). Use command line options.

(3). Use import feature.
