The Alert Panel

When a reminder is due it either:

  1. simply changes its status from valid (arrow) to expired (check) in the reminders list view.
  2. (1) and emits a sound.
  3. (1) and displays an alert panel.
  4. All of the above.

If an alert panel is displayed, you have three choices:

  1. OK (dismiss the panel, no action is taken).
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
