Other page

 

There is only one item in this page: Alarm ahead. You can specify how long ahead should Jingle remind you on the event. Sometimes it is necessary to remind something ahead, such as for a birthday or an appointment, etc. Of course you can also set the reminder time ahead directly, but sometimes setting the Alarm ahead value is more convenient for management.
