This tab enables you to specify how Attune™ notifies you about a new Intelligram. Your choice of notification method depends on whether the Intelligram notification has been designated as immediate or non-immediate:
Immediate notifications
Running in the background, Attune watches how you use your computer. If you are about to encounter a problem that requires your immediate attention, such as a conflict that results from installing new software on your computer, Attune will immediately notify you at the appropriate moment during the installation. Attune will then instruct you on what to do to avoid or solve the problem.
Non-immediate notifications
Non-immediate notifications are used for Intelligrams that provide you with valuable information based on your specific computer, but where the situation does not require your prompt attention.
The following table describes the three notification methods.
