Abstract
A document reminder system is provided. The system provides a user-friendly interface to a user's existing document management, email, calendar and other systems in order to ensure that an appropriate user is notified when action should be taken on a specific document, and also provides notation to the user indicating the appropriate course of action to be taken. The system provides a calendaring feature where a supervisor or manager can determine the workload of a group of workers for an upcoming time period. The system provides an easily accessible and traceable database of information pertaining to a document, a client name, a client matter number, a document type, or other customizable fields in order for a user to search and sort the information for their own use.
