Note Properties

Date

Set a note date here. If you opened this dialog by clicking on a specific date on your desktop calendar, or by double clicking a date in the Active Desktop Calendar workspace window, the date will automatically be set.

Attach Icon

Allows you to attach an icon to the note. If you select this option, you can specify which icon you wish to attach by clicking on the button labeled "..." to the right.

Desktop View

With this option you can control how individual notes are displayed on the desktop. Default view for each new note is Normal (Visible). If you set a note to be Private then the generic text "(private)" will be displayed on the desktop in place of the original note text. This will prevent those who just pass by your computer screen to read that note and you will still have a visual reminder of its existence. However, if you set a note to be Invisible then it will not be displayed at all on the desktop.

Span this note over ... day(s)

You can make multi-day notes using this option.

 

Alarm Properties

Enable Alarm

With this option checked, alarm will be attached to the note.

Snooze Time

Set snooze time which will appear on alarm's pop-up dialog.

Play sound file

Opens dialog for choosing wav sound file to be played when alarm is due.

NOTE: If you are adding an alarm (not attached to a note) then Note Properties and Enable Alarm will not be available for editing. The reason for this is that stand alone alarms are considered by the program as a special kind of notes that are not displayed on the desktop so editing Note Properties for them would not make sense. If you want to have a note with all attributes and an alarm then start by adding a note and checking Enable Alarm option.

Monthly
