Using the Attention Manager

Many applications (such as Date Book and Clock) want to get your attention with some sort of alarm. Attention Manager provides a way for you to conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place. Appointments and messages can stack up while you are away from your console. You can then use Attention Manager to view them from a single list and selectively dismiss or follow up on each alarm.

Alarms request your attention at two different levels: insistent and subtle. This chapter describes both types of requests.

Insistent alarms

Insistent applications open a Reminder screen, and may play a sound, flash an LED, 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 press any button to silence it. Attention Manager opens immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.

Using the Reminder screen

The Reminder screen has three buttons for responding to an alarm:

•OK. Makes the reminder go away, with no further notification.
