Asset reminders and the Coming up view
Skileo reminds the asset's responsible person before a warranty ends, a loan is due back, or a subscription must be cancelled or renews. Coming up lists all of it for the next 60 days.

What you are reminded of
- Warranty ends: the Warranty until date of an item.
- Due back: the day a loaned item should come back. Once the day has passed it shows Return overdue.
- Cancel by: the last day to cancel a subscription before it renews.
- Renews: the renewal of a subscription without a notice period.
- Ends: the end of a subscription that doesn’t renew.
Payments are never a reminder. See Subscription payments, renewals and cancel-by dates.
Who is reminded, and when
- The asset’s Responsible. Without one, the Business owner.
- From the time chosen in Remind me: On the day, 7 days before, 14 days before (the default) or 30 days before. Never turns them off for that asset.
Where reminders show
- A number next to Assets in the menu: your reminders that are due and not handled.
- A label next to the asset’s name in the list, for example “Cancel by” with the days left.
- The Coming up view of Assets, and the Coming up list of the Calendar.
Skileo doesn’t send e-mails about asset reminders yet. Check the number next to Assets in the menu.
Use the Coming up view
- Open Assets and choose Coming up.
- The next 60 days are grouped: Overdue first, then Next 7 days, then Later.
- On a reminder:
- Mark as handled takes it out of the number in the menu. It stays in the list, greyed, until its day passes. The message that appears has Undo.
- Create task opens a new task with the reminder’s name and date filled in.
Payments are listed in grey, with the total of each month at the top. Employees who leave with something still to give back get a line of their own.
Common questions
I renewed the contract. Why does the reminder come back next year?
A reminder belongs to one date. When the date moves on, the new date reminds you again. That is the point.
Can each person choose their own reminder time?
No. Remind me belongs to the asset, and the reminders go to its Responsible.
Do Members see reminders of assets they aren't responsible for?
They see them in Coming up and in the list, if they have the Assets permission. The number in the menu counts only their own.
