A task alarm is a dialog box that appears before the task is scheduled to be performed.
You can define exactly when a task alarm appears with the Reminder Alarm fields in the Task record. See the Creating a Task section for more details.
When the reminder time arrives, a Reminders dialog box appears for every person who is assigned to the task:
From here you can select the alarm on which you want to perform an action and:
Click Open. The task opens.
Click Complete. The task opens, with the Status changed to "Completed Task". Click OK to save the completed task.
Click Cancel. The task opens, with the Status changed to "Canceled Task". Click OK to save the canceled task.
Click Snooze. The alarm will close for this task, to reappear based on the snooze value you typed and selected from the Snooze field and drop-down list. For example, clicking Snooze in the screenshot above would display the alarm again in 5 minutes.
