The Alert Panel
When a reminder is due it either:
- simply changes its status from valid (arrow) to expired (check) in the reminders list view.
- (1) and emits a sound.
- (1) and displays an alert panel.
- All of the above.
If an alert panel is displayed, you have three choices:
- OK (dismiss the panel, no action is taken).
- Expire (Force a reminder to expire. This mainly applies to repeating reminders. This has the same effect as pressing the Cancel button in the main window).
- Delete (Expire and Remove the reminder permanently from the list. This has the same effect as pressing the Delete button in the main window).
Note: A repeating reminder does not expire until you explicitly press Expire or Delete in its alert panel, or select the reminder from the list and press the Cancel or Delete buttons.
