I've also been working on a new and improved alerts system. There are two types of alerts:
- Alarms
- Reminders
Alarms are alerts that you specify you want to receive a certain period of time (expressed in days, hours, or minutes) prior to the event. Each event and Todo can have two alarms set on it. Alarms do not recur unless you press a snooze button which appears only when alarms are present in the alerts dialog.
Reminders are automatically issued when an item is scheduled to start. In this screenshot, a Reminder is showing for the test event because the time it is scheduled for has passed. To suppress further reminders I just need to select the Start checkbox to indicate that I've started the meeting or other event.
