Set A Remider for Your Event: RemiNder
When you have finished, double click on a new date in the main window. There is no Save option in iCal, so just trust it. Once you've scheuled all the events you want to, quit the program to be sure it saves and gets ready to send reminders.

This is also called "alarming" your event. As you might guess, you'll be using the Alarm field of the Event Edit window.
== A Warning About iCal's Alarms ==
This wiki was written primarily to help the new "reminder monkey" of [[Writing Workshop]] learn how to send automated shift reminders using iCal, a system developed by [[Jonathan Landsman]] in [[Fall 2004]].
During his implementation of the system for that school year, one important problem was discovered: for reasons that were never determined, iCal would occassionally cease to send its periodic reminders, with no warning whatsoever. The issue would usually take a few weeks of normal function to arise, but when it came, it seemed to have no reason to it.
