Task / Chore Schedules
When you create or edit a Point Category, you can assign a schedule to the task which indicates which days of the week, and by what time, the task/chore should be completed.
For example, if you have a point category for 'Piano Practice', you can specify that this needs to be done every day of the week, except Wednesday. You can also provide a time which can act as the deadline for the task.
You can also specify which of your children the point category is relevant for, or all of them if it applies to the whole family.
Finally, you can tell Rewards Kids to remind your children at the task's deadline. If the child's own device is running Rewards Kids, they will receive an App Notification at the due time.
