Overview
An event can be set up to display a
popup reminder window at
a
certain amount of time before the event is scheduled to start.
To enable a popup reminder, check the "Show a popup reminder"
box in the list of available actions on the
Event Editor window.
This will allow the popup reminder options to be viewed or
modified as described below.
Before Event Start
- You can specify the amount of time before the event starting time that
the popup reminder window should be first displayed.
- The value can be typed in or selected from a drop-down
list. When typing in a value, the number must come
first, followed by a space and then the unit of time (minutes,
hours, days, weeks, or months). Example: "1.5
hours".
Play Media
- If you would like a wav file, song, or video to play in the
popup reminder window, check the "Play media" box and then select a media file to be included.
- The path to the media can either be typed in, or you
can select the "..." button to browse for a media
file.
- If you'd like the media playback to repeat until the
reminder is dismissed or snoozed, check the "Repeat" box.
Otherwise, uncheck it for the media to play only once.
- You can click the drop-down arrow to access a list of
recently used media files.
- Supported audio file types end with extensions wav, mp3,
and wma.
- Supported video file types end with extensions wmv and
mpg.
Preview

popup reminder window will look like by clicking the Preview button.
