Set Up Your Reminders
You can use Pract.us reports as one of your triggers or just as a daily report on your progress.
Watch the video. (37 seconds)- Go to the main menu and select “Profile.”
- Select “Reports” from the menu on the left.
- For the Learner Status Report, set how often you want to receive it in your email.
- For example, if you want to complete your habit by noon each day, set your report to arrive at 11:30 am so you have a reminder.
- Or if you want to complete the habit at the end of your day, set your report to arrive at a few minutes before you typically leave so if you forget to do it, you’ll get a reminder.
- If you just want a progress report, you might want to set your reminder just once a week.
- Click the blue save button below to save your preference.
- Sign off this skill and go to the next.
