The sidebar includes several standard Smart Lists you can use to filter your reminders and access them quickly:
Today: The Today Smart List shows reminders that are due today and reminders that are overdue.
Scheduled: The Scheduled Smart List shows reminders that have a due date specified. The reminders are grouped by date.
All: The All Smart List shows all reminders in all accounts. The reminders are grouped by reminder lists.
Flagged: The Flagged Smart List shows all reminders that have a flag. You can use flags to make important reminders stand out.
Assigned to Me: The Assigned to Me Smart List shows all reminders assigned to you from a shared reminder list.
Note: All Reminders features described in this guide are available when using upgraded iCloud reminders. Some features aren’t available when using accounts from other providers.
