Naming and scheduling the alarm

When you click Create Alarm or Change Alarm on the Alarm Clock window, you must first name and schedule your alarm.

You can schedule the following types of alarms.

Alarm type Description
One time only This alarm occurs only once and then expires. For example, you could schedule a one-time alarm for August 24 at 10:00 A.M.
