Pat came up with a good point...every time there is an update on the site, there should be some sort of 'ding' through the speakers (this front desk would need speakers, first). That will help remind you there may be important pending things to do,

I've looked into this feature request and have found that this is indeed something we could add. In addition though we need a method for turning this feature off for locations that do have speakers but don't want sounds from their software coming out.

I've added a new feature that can silently alert you to the fact that you have a new Task reminder by flashing the tab in your browser.

Let me know this is a handy enough feature.
