Notification Management

To keep notifications relevant and improve performance, older task notifications are automatically removed:

 

Completed tasks older than 30 days are removed

Filed tasks older than 30 days (based on due date) are removed

For above categories, only items within 30 days or the most recent 100 items (whichever is less) are retained

Overdue tasks older than 400 days are removed

 

This cleanup runs automatically when you log in, ensuring only recent and relevant notifications are displayed.

 

note Notes:

If you do not want to be notified for any new task or note in the system tray, set the appropriate option in Options > Tasks in Tools menu.
