PracticeMaster Q&A: Default Alarm Times

February 2021    Tags: Alarms, Calendar, PracticeMaster

I have some users who forget to add alarms for important calendar records. Is there a way an alarm can be set by default?

The default alarm time for calendar records is controlled by the Calendar Code that is used for the calendar record. You can set the default alarm time in the calendar code file which will then apply to calendar records created after the change.

To add an alarm to a Calendar Code

1. From the Calendar menu, select Calendar Code File.
2. From the List tab, select the desired Calendar Code.
3. From the Calendar Code tab, select the desired Alarm Time.
4. Press Ctrl+S.

Any new calendar records added with that calendar code will now use that default alarm time.
