New Feature "Expiry date" - Where is the alert?
I would like to know if I just don't understand it or if it doesn't work. I have added a date to an item and set an alarm for the day before. But no alarm appears on the day of the alarm?! I can o...
Hi Ronso,
I'm sorry that the "alert" is expected only in the item details view or the Watchtower section currently. I understand it might be ignored easily.
Therefore, I shared your feedback and filed a feature request accordingly for our team to improve the feature. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Yes, have to agree, simply posting the alert in WatchTower is not really an alert. Users have to think/remember to proactively look in WT to find the alert. Most folks probably don't interact with WT daily. Might as well go to the item in question to see if it's reached the expiration date.
What we need is a popup, or banner that activates when the expiration date arrives. That is, no user interaction should be required.
While I do appreciate the attempted improvement, it really needs a bit more work. Thanks.
Or even better, just an alert notification option somewhere (either globally or preferably per alert). If reminder chosen, pick alert option:
- Notification
- Email > add em <add email address>
Some users prefer emails to app notifications, so ideally a choice would be nice.

Before all that though... the date entry format needs to be fixed, as it remains always set as US format (mm/dd/yyyy) which can cause confusion on date entry fields for all users using another date format (eg. dd/mm/yyyy) in System Settings.
