Can I set a default alert type in iCal?

For some reason all new events in my iCal (whether I create them, or someone invites me) have two alerts set by default:
1. Email (10 minutes before)
2. Message (10 minutes before)
I don't want either of these as my default, but I can't figure out how to change it. Is it possible to set a default alert type/time?

OS 10.7.2
The calendar in question is CalDAV (from Google calendar)

Hi,
In iCal the default alarm type is "message with sound". You cannot change the type of alarm but you can change the offset of it.
Now that you say it is a Google calendar, information for setting default alarms on Google Calendar: Change your default notification settings : Google Calendar Help

  • How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

    I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out.  The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal?  The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
    Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)."  The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default?  It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
    The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful:  I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound". 
    Any ideas, folks?  Thanks.

    Understand.  I am in the edit mode for my contact.  I see all the contact info.  There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

    Hi,
    The problem exists in my project still exist.That is it.
    When I did not set weblogic.jsp.encoding to GB2312 in my web
    application(web.xml), and when the jsp file contain's chinese , the
    output
    will be error(error chinese) .And when I did not set it , the output
    is
    correct, but when I use request.getParameter("SomeFormElement")(theelement
    inputed chinese), the return value is error(still chinese error).And
    when
    I
    am in windows nt english version and do not set this property, all
    these
    two
    problems dispear. And I try to compare the java files those were
    generated
    by weblogic from the jsp file , there is only two additional clause
    in
    the
    java file. That's it:
    ((weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspWriterImpl)out).setEncoding("GB2312");
    response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=GB2312");
    (the web.xml has <context-param>
    <param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
    <param-value>GB2312</param-value>
    </context-param> to be set
    So, I think maybe it works well if I change the default locale toenglish.
    And unfortunately, your method is also failed.(I have to use weblogic
    in
    chinese environment)
    Would you please help me to solve this problem?

  • How to set a default Billing type for a particular Delivery type

    Dear All,
    How to set a default billing type for a particular delivery type.
    My requirement is, we are creating delivery for a Stock Transport Order. Delivery type is NL and the Purchase order type is UB.
    When we are creating Billing, it should take Billing type "ZSTO" by default, which is the customised Billing type.
    Where we have to do this setting?
    In case of normal sales order, this control will be available in the Sales order document types.
    In case STO, how to set a default billing type for a delivery type (NL).
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    There is a customization available here no default or hard coded
    Normally in a sales doc type we mention which billing type system has to pick
    If the billing happens from a PO which billing type system will take depends on the controls set in the areas mentioned below
    Go to your delivery type OVLK (say your delivery type is NL)
    In that there is a field called default order qty in the order reference tab (say if you maintained DL there)
    This DL is called PSEUDO order type
    Then in VOV8 for DL based on the billing types mentioned ,system will take the billing doc
    For delivery related billing say if you mention say ZF8 in the details of DL in VOV8(provided you have created ZF8)
    Then while you bill the delivery doc of NL system will take ZF8
    For intercompany delivery you can create ZIV billing type also Pure customization
    PO is linked to delivery type ( MM spro settings)--Del type linked to order (pseudo) type---in order type (pseudo) we mention the billing types. Here the flow is bit different that pure SD flow
    Though the invoice is crated by manually putting customized Biiling Type and A/Cing doc also generated, but in the VF04 still system shows the same deliveries pending with Billing Type (F2).
    This manual is not reqd if the said assignments are done properly
    Hope it can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards
    JP

    Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

    No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.
