Setting an Alarm for an Event

The Event window includes an Alarm box that lets you set an event alarm.

Click the lookup button for the Alarm box and select the amount of time before the event's start date/time you want the alarm to appear. For example, if you want the alarm to appear the day before the start date for the event, select 1 day. If you want the alarm to appear 15 minutes before the event (like for a phone call), select 15 minutes.
