CALENDAR

How do I set automatic alarms for all meetings?
Instead of setting alarms on individual calendar entries, you can set automatic alarms for all calendar entries of a particular type, such as reminders. When you set an automatic alarm, you can change the default sound associated with the alarm, and specify how far in advance the alarm should go off.

Procedure

1. Click File -> Preferences, and then click Calendar and To Do.

2. Click Alarms.

3. Select Display alarm notifications.

4. Select one or more calendar entry types to set automatic alarms for.

5. Enter a number to set how far in advance the alarm should go off.

6. Optional: To change the default sound for alarms, select a sound in the Default sound field.

Results

Tip: You can change the automatic alarm settings for an individual calendar entry by clicking the alarm icon in the entry.
