Alerts

What Are Alerts?

Alerts can be used for reminders or alarms. They'll be leveraged by the later Pomodoro features.

Some of these will be pre-defined in Timecard, and can only be enabled/disabled, but not deleted. Users may define additional alerts, which can be added and removed at will.

An Alert consists of the following components:

Enable/Disable

Any Alert can be enabled or disabled without being deleted.

Type

An Alert can be one of two types:

• Reminder: Occurs after duration of n on running activity timer. Can be once ("After ") or recurring ("Every ").

• Alarm: Occurs at a particular system time.

Actions

An Alert can take one or more actions:

• Display popup notification.
• Play sound, once or on loop.
• Focus window.
• Pause timer.
• Require message dismissal.

Message

The plain-text message will be displayed with in the popup notification or message dismissal pane.

Interface

The Alerts panel will display a list view of all the alerts. Clicking one in the list immediately enables editing it with the controls and buttons above the list view.
