Reminder Extension for Azure DevOps

Overview

The Reminder Extension is a powerful tool designed to help developers, operations teams, and project managers stay on top of important project-related tasks by allowing them to create, view, and manage reminders directly within Azure DevOps. Whether it's renewing tokens, updating passwords, uploading keys, or any other time-sensitive tasks, this app ensures you never miss a critical deadline.

In large projects, maintaining and tracking expiration dates for certificates, tokens, URLs, and other vital information can be a challenge. The Reminder App simplifies this process by providing a dedicated section in Azure DevOps where all reminders are securely stored. The tool operates entirely within Azure DevOps, ensuring your data is safe, secure, and not shared with any third-party services.

Key Features

• Create Reminders: Users can create reminders for various project-related tasks, such as renewing certificates, updating passwords, or uploading security tokens.
• Manage Reminders: View and update reminders directly in the Azure DevOps Code Hub section. Add custom notes for each reminder to provide additional context and details.
• Role-based Permissions:
  • All users with access to the project can create, view, and update reminders.
  • Only admin users can delete reminders, ensuring that important information is not accidentally removed.
• Security: All reminder data is securely stored within Azure DevOps itself. The app does not rely on third-party APIs or storage services, ensuring your sensitive data remains private and safe.
• Organization-wide Access: Any user with access to the organization can view and manage reminders, making it easier for teams to collaborate and stay aligned.
• Unlimited Reminders: There's no limit to the number of reminders you can create, ensuring that even complex projects with many tasks can stay organized.

Why Use the Reminder App?

In complex projects, it's common to have numerous tasks that need to be scheduled and tracked over time. This app provides a centralized solution for managing all reminders, so you can:

• Never miss important deadlines, such as certificate renewals, password updates, or token expirations.
• Keep your team aligned and informed about upcoming tasks and responsibilities.
• Store and manage reminders directly in the Azure DevOps environment without relying on external tools or services.
• Maintain a historical record of past reminders for future reference.

How to Use the App

1. Navigate to the Code Hub: The Reminder App is integrated into the Azure DevOps Code Hub section, where you can manage all your reminders in one place.
2. Create a Reminder: Add a new reminder by specifying the task, the due date, and any additional notes. The system will automatically track the reminder until it is completed or deleted by an admin.
3. View and Update: All users can view and update existing reminders, providing flexibility in managing project tasks.
4. Admin Control: Only users with admin permissions can delete reminders, ensuring that critical tasks are not removed by mistake.
