8 Using the Attention
Manager
Many applications (such as Date Book and Clock) 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 flash
the LED indicator depending on your Alarm Preferences settings. 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 will
always open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.
Using the Reminder command buttons
The Reminder dialog screen has three buttons for responding to an alarm.
