Instead of using a sticky note stuck to your computer screen, Chronicle allows you to create Reminders and Follow Ups which have some tracking abilities associated. There is also an older function of the program that still exists in a couple of places called Recalls. These Recalls are not as robust as Reminders are and should not be used.
This is how Reminders and Follow Ups work compared to the old Recalls:

*Used to set and look up Recalls. Is not being supported anymore. Users should switch to using Reminders and Tasks in the program and Follow Ups in Collections Manager.
**A follow up on the Financial tab is actually a Recall.
***Info Panel uses the term “recall date”.
