3) Tap on “+” button. The event window will pop-up.
4) Inside event window
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Alarm for <put as you like here> |
| Starts | Set the starting date and time |
| End | Set the ending date and time. Do note, both start and end here is not the alarm starting date or end date, but rather the event start and end date. |
| Alert | This is where you can set the alarm / notification. |
To make it simple for you, if you need an alarm to ring off at 7 July at 11am, then set the Start date as 7 July then set the Start time as 11am. Then set the Alert as “At time of event”.
