What is Alarming Events?

Alarming Events has most of the basic features of Smart Alarms/Appointment Diary. The most prominent difference is that Alarming Events integrates the functions of Smart Alarms and Appointment Diary into one module. Alarming Events opens with a calendar view, in which clicking on any day opens a separate window with that day’s schedule of events. A five-day view is also available. You use a pop-up menu to designate how you want each event to be treated (as an alarm that notifies you at the scheduled time, an appointment with no alarm notification, or even a “to do” listing that automatically carries over into the next day until you list it as “done”). Much like Smart Alarms, Alarming Events has advance-notification and recurring-interval capabilities. Additionally, you can set the expected duration of an event, which can help you avoid overlapping appointments.

Alarming Events can maintain an archive file for saving information about past appointments. Appointments can be placed individually into the archive as they are completed. This is superior to the comparable feature in Smart Alarms, which requires a separate application and must transfer at least an entire day's events at once. Another advantage of Alarming Events is that it gives you a choice of discarding or retaining completed events — Smart Alarms always discards completed events automatically.

Alarming Events also avoids Smart Alarms' split into single-user and multiuser versions. With Alarming Events, an unlimited number of reminder and archive files can be created. Alarming Events can run on a file-sharing network, but it is not as well designed for multiuser access as is Smart Alarms.

One of the best features of Alarming Events is the row of icon buttons that appears in the alarm-notification window. Depending on which one you choose, you can postpone the notification for a specified interval, mark it as completed, archive it, trash it, or open Alarming Events to that item for further editing, in contrast, the options available in Smart Alarms are basically limited to either postponing notification or trashing the item.
