Quarters and Reminder Schedule

Quarters and Reminder Schedule

OKR Tracker organises your Objectives by quarter and nudges contributors to keep their Key Results current. You set both up in OKR Settings: quarter date ranges under Quarters, and the reminder cadence under Reminders & Escalation.

Quarters and reminder schedule settings in OKR Settings

Quarters and reminder schedule settings ## Configure quarter date ranges

Open OKR Settings → Quarters and define the date range for each quarter. These ranges are configurable, so they match your organisation's planning calendar — whether your quarters follow the calendar year or a fiscal one. The Quarter field on each Objective and Key Result draws on these ranges.

Set the reminder schedule

In Reminders & Escalation you control when the app reaches out:

  • Reminder day and time → the day of the week and time check-in reminders are sent to contributors.

  • Escalation recipient → who hears about stalled Key Results that have not been updated.

How the schedule runs

Two background jobs keep things current:

  • Weekly Monday cron → sends check-in reminders and at-risk / stalled-KR escalation on your configured schedule.

  • Hourly metrics refresh → recalculates the cached dashboard metrics so the OKR dashboard stays current through the week.

For what contributors receive and how escalation behaves, see Reminders and At-Risk Escalation.
