Postponing and Dismissing Alarms

When an alarm appears on your screen, you can postpone or dismiss it. When you postpone it, you can specify the length of time for the alarm snooze. In your user preferences, you can set a default for the alarm snooze time in all of the activities you create. For more information, see "Setting Up Default Alarm Snooze Times".
