Using the Attention

Manager

Many applications (such as Date Book, Clock, and SMS) want to get your attention with some sort of alarm. Attention Manager allows you to conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place. Appointments and messages can stack up while you are away from your device. Attention Manager lets you view them from a single list, where you can selectively dismiss or follow up on each event.

Applications will signal for your attention at two different levels: insistent and subtle. Each will be discussed in detail below.

Insistent alarms

Insistent applications open a Reminders dialog screen, and may play a sound, or vibrate, depending on your hardware configuration. Alarms continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted, you can tap anywhere on the screen, or push any button to silence it. Attention Manager will always open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.
