Power Tips

Automatically set a calendar appointment for 24 hours from the time that you called by hanging up before answering the "Outlook Calendar" date and time prompts.

Add a reminder to any email message or task by selecting the Jott icon from the drop down menu that appears when you right click on that message.

You can always change the names of the default lists "Calendar", "Task", "Email Draft", added by the Outlook add-in by logging in to your Jott account.

FAQ

Q: Why does Jott tell me I have two contacts named "Calendar" or "Task" or "Email Draft" when I call?
A: If you've named another list on your Jott account "Calendar", "Task", or "Email Draft", before downloading the Outlook add-in, you'll need to rename one of the two lists so we know exactly where you'd like those messages sent. You can do this by logging on to your Jott account and clicking on the list whose name you'd like to change. From the "More Options" drop down menu select "Rename list" and type in the new name of your list.

Q: I get an error message during install (Can't open file - #2755)
A: This problem may be caused by running the installer from an encrypted location or from a network drive. To check if the installer is encrypted: Right-click on the "Jott Add-in Setup.msi", then click Properties, then click Advanced, then uncheck "Encrypt contents to secure data". If the problem persists, please contact customer support.
