Choose a Reminder Action in Lightning

When I select New Event, then click Custom to setup a reminder, a window pops up and at the bottom it says “Choose a Reminder Action”. This says “Show an Alert” If I click on it, there's a drop down box appear with the same “Show an Alert” message in it.
It makes me wonder if there's a possiblility to setup a different reminder action, or is it just a querk that the drop down box appears?
Also, in the Tools>Options>Calendar tab (mine says Calendar, but the online help shows it labelled as Lightning? - I'm on Thunderbird 31.4.0)
Now within that tab, there's a General tab which doesn't have “Refresh calendars every xx minutes” as it does on the online help.
I never switch off my PC, and when I go to the month view of the calendar (my default view), it's often a day or two behind on the highlighted current day.

Do the following...
Put your cursor on the item you want to set a due date for in the check list (right side of Reminders window).
A little "i" will show up on the right side of the line, click it.
Check the "On a day..." box and it should expand to give you a date/time field.
Set the date/time you want to be reminded and you're done.
When the time comes, if you've got your Reminders set up in Notifications settings, you'll get a nice little alert and it'll show up in your Notification settings.  Hope that helps!

  • Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names

    Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?

    I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
    I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
    Tested workflow:
    1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
    Testing
    Another test
    My Spiffy New Folder
    2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
    3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
    4) Run AppleScript:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px; height: 340px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
    on run {input, parameters}
    make folders with names from a list
    input: a list of names (text items)
    output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
    set output to {}
    set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
    try -- verify that the path is valid
    set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias
    on error
    set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
    end try
    repeat with AnItem in the input
    GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
    try
    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
    set the end of the output to the result as alias
    end try
    end repeat
    return output
    end run
    to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
    check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
    parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
    SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
    returns [text]: a unique name
    set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
    set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
    set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
    if Here is -1 then -- no extension
    set TheExtension to ""
    else
    set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
    end if
    set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
    tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
    repeat while it contains NewName
    set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
    set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension
    end repeat
    end tell
    return NewName
    end GetUniqueName</pre>
    - the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with.

  • How to enable standard actions and print preview in Output management in FU and FO in SAP TM9.1

    Hello Experts,
    This is regarding the Output management on Truck load scenario.
    I have maintained configuration which is related to output management in Freight order type (truck load).
    Configuration is :
    Output profile : " /SCMTMS/TOR" and
    Add. Output Profile “ /SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD”.
    Results: I have created a Freight order based on the FU ( Sales order ) , go to output management tab in FO, I can see only one Action status that is “Shipping Instruction” .
    Expectations: I am expecting couple of other FORMs like HBL and label and etc which is available in “/SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD”.
    /SCMTMS/PRINT_AIRPORT_TRANSFER Road Waybill (Europe)
    /SCMTMS/PRINT_CMR Road Waybill (Europe)
    /SCMTMS/PRINT_CMR_MAN Road Waybill (Europe)
    /SCMTMS/PRINT_DELIVERY_ORDER Road Waybill (Europe)
    /SCMTMS/PRINT_FFI Shipping Instruction

    Also, When I am executing “List of Actions” by manually I can see all of above actions in popup screen but by default “scheduled condition” check box is checked on “Shipping Instruction” not rest of them.
    Would you please guide me what I am missing?
    Thank you very much.

    Dear Surender,
    For PPF customizing you can follow SPRO path -> Cross application components ->Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications->Reusable Objects and Functions for BOPF Environment ->PPF Adapter for Output Management->Maintain PPF Settings -> Select the application '/SCMTMS/TRANSPORTATION' -> Define action profiles and Actions.
    Select the required action profile (Here in your case /SCMTMS/TOR or /SCMTMS/TOR_PRINT_ROAD)-> select the required action definitions -> Make sure 'Inactive' checkbox is deselected against the required action -> Choose processing types -> Here you can assign a new form. You can also create new action definitions and assign forms accordingly.
    Then go back and go to 'Condition configuration' ->Choose the required action profile -> Check the Start condition and schedule condition. Make sure you have 'Schedule automatically' radio button selected under overview tab.
    Print preview is also called as Document preview. To my knowledge this tab should be displayed default with standard under Output Management tab. Document preview will appear upon selecting the action in Output management tab. If not appearing just check the WD component customizing or personalization.
    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
    Link below to PPF and Output Management in SAP TM document would help you.

  • Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with sub-screen.
    I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
    1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
    *SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
    2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
    Thanks in advance.

    for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
    Consider d code given below as n eg:
    CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
        EXPORTING
          titlebar              = 'SAVE'
          text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
          text_button_1         = 'YES'
          text_button_2         = 'NO'
          default_button        = '2'
          display_cancel_button = ' '
        IMPORTING
          answer                = l_ans
        EXCEPTIONS
          text_not_found        = 1
          OTHERS                = 2.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE e066.
      ENDIF.
    IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
       MODIFY db.
       commit work.
       leave program.
    ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'.  "when no is pressed
        leave program.
    ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
    ENDIF.
    In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
    As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
    Reward properly.

  • Folder Actions Setup/Configuration in OS 10.6.4

    Hi
    I have some "fancy" stacks icons that i use for my dock that makes it look like my documents are in a little box. I downloaded the icons and a script that ensures that the icon for the "box" is at the top so the stack has the correct appearance in my dock. I did this (I think) by right clicking the folder, selecting "more" and choosing "enable folder actions" from the sub-menu.
    Now, when I right click on a newly created folder that I put the box icon in, the "More" option isn't available if I right click on the folder. I tried searching for a solution online, and tried selecting "Services" in the finder after clicking the folder once to no avail. So I am not sure how to set or enable a folder action now.
    Does anyone have a suggestion/workaround or know what the problem is?
    Thanks!!
    Lee

    So I went to the "Services" section of the "System Preferences" by clicking "System Preferences" then "Keyboard" then the "Keyboard Shortcuts" on the right which gives all of the services, which it looks like I can enable or disable by checking the box. But when I click "Services" the menu is blank. Can someone help me or tell me how to add a script to this submenu? It looks I need to use the "Automator" program but I've played with the program and don't quite get it.
    Thanks!!

  • How to set a default reminder for ICal to-dos

    I would love to be able to set a default reminder for all my Event to-do's in ICal.  Right now, I have to choose a reminder, and it's always preset at 11:45 PM.  I don't want my phone to remind me in the middle of the night.

    Implement javax.faces.convert.Converter and convert null to "N/A" (and preferably also vice versa, else "N/A" would be submitted as actual value, if you're going to use this in UIInput components too).

  • Why does pic. turn to 'broken lightning rod'?

    I have replaced RAW 4.2 w/5.1 in PSE6. Now when I duplicate DNG pic. in organizer or process it in RAW than click Done' or move it to full edit than save it shows up in the organizer as the box w/lightning rod rather than a picture. What am I doing wrong? Also I have loaded the preferences' but very few are present. Are the preferences for Pentax K10D not available to the extent that they are for Nikon or Cannon?

    I know darn well what a DNG file is. It's "
    DNG.pic" that makes no sense.
    "Lightning rod" would be a straight vertical line.
    If you're thinking of a zig-zag line that reminds you of lightning (i.e. a lightning strike)
    the only thing that comes to mind is a broken icon, indicative of a damaged file, as in a corrupted file:

    I upgraded to ios5 with no problems on my iPad2 and everything seemed to go just fine. However I tried to use the new Reminder app and found it to be corrupted somehow and unusable. I have checked the app on and iPad1 and an iPhone so know how it should work.  On my iPad2 it opens up on the completed screen but does not detail any lists of any kind on the left side panel at all....its just blank.....the default lists are gone!.  I therefore cannot choose the "reminder" list to make the plus symbol appear so that I can add a reminder.  Anyone have any idea???.....please help.  I cannot delete the app and reinstall as its part of the preinstalled stuff.

  • Actions have to be done manually/ image size not available

    i have a foder opened up in bridge , all photos selected, I go to tools/photoshop/batch/I choose my own action, web 1400, which includes reducing to 1400 px, reduce resolution, and saving to jpeg.
    In set, i choose my own actions, source: folder, choose the original folder, destination:folder, create new folder,ok.
    i have to do all the oks and saves by clicking manually, all in the end is fine, but that's odd.
    OR FROM PHOTOSHOP/windows/actions; it just wont work all together; My action is called web1400, includes 3 commands::
    2 image size (for reducing size, resolution) and save to jpeg.
    I select  web 1400, then I click the play icon (3rd from left) . that brings the selection down 1 step to image size and a window appears:  image size is not currently available.

  • Query on Hiring Action

    I have an issue in Hiring Action. After choosing the hiring action, I have to fill up the data for employee group in the screen for Actions infotype. Now, I have several employee groups like permanent, probationer, trainee, resigned, retired, dismissed etc. Now, I don't want to allow the user to choose the employee groups like retired, resigned, dismissed because they do not represent "Active" employees. How do I achieve this? Please guide me.
    -Kalpana

    Hi
    Possible solutions
    a)While creating the employee groups take 1) Active and 2) Inactive
    The employee sub groups can now be taken as per your requirement and you will not have the issue while hiring
    if you have many employee groups and consider all of them to be active and if its not possible to take the groupings as suggested
    we will have to educate the end users about the same.

  • Several partner recipients for Automatic action with partner determination

    Hi everybody
    I did define one action inside my Lead action profile to inform several employees about the Lead details.
    I did customize the action with:
    -Processing time: 1 Processing Using selection report
    -Processing times not permited: No restriction
    -Schedulle automatically
    -Changeable  in dialog
    -Executable in dialog
    PARTNER DEPENDENT:Partner Function Z3
    action Mergin:Set Highest Number of Processed Actions
    In the tab Action Merging i did choose  One unprocessed action for each partner
    I would like to send  the same  mail to several recipients,(each partner with the same partner function in the "Parties involved" tab).
    My problem is that  although  there are as many actions generated  as  partner with Z· partner fuction,  the mail is sended  always to  the main partner. (the first one with z3 partner function).
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks.

    Thank you very much   for those quick answers.
    I did try yet this  customizing  and it generates as many activities as partners with the same  partner function. But when you execute them, the mail is sended to the  first Partner introduced mail recipient  althoug  all them has the same partner Fuction.
    For example:
    Lead 111:
    -Parties Involved:
    Partner Function: "Employee Responsible" Employee: Frank Ellis
    Partner Function: "Z3 Mantain Informed to" Employee: Michael Smith
    Partner Function: "Z3 Mantain Informed to" Employee:Sara  Ferguson
    Actions:
    Action 1 E mail to "Mantain Informed Partners"
    Action 2 E mail to "Mantain Informed Partners"
    When  the action is executed both actions send the email to  Michael Smith.
    Why? I dont´t Know.
    I can confirm yo that I did customize the action merging:
    Action Merging: Set Highest Number of Processed Actions
    Number of unprocessed actions: Une unprocessed action for each partner and processing type.
    Thanks Again

  • Automator's Choose from List

    This should be obvious, but I can't find it anywhere in Automator's documentation. I'm trying to create a workflow using the "Choose from List" action, whose input is supposed to be a (text) list of items. So I'm trying to send it a list of items using the "Get Specified Text" action.
    However, all the items in my text list always appear as a single line in the list selection box. I've tried separating the text items with commas, semicolons, returns, etc with no luck getting multiple items in the list. Is there some secret delimiter character I don't know about?
    I'm new to Mac, so maybe it's just one of those things I haven't learned about yet.

  • BEA-382502 -- OSB Service Callout action received an error response

    Hi,
    I am trying to develope a simple application with two proxy services and Business services. The first proxy sevice communicates with the second one which in turn communicates with Business service.
    I am receving this error during the communication between the proxy services.
    I have tried enabling both "configure Soap body" and "configure payload document" to pass the request from one proxy service to other. In either case am receving the same error. Can you please help me here.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mahi
    Edited by: Mahidhara on Sep 23, 2009 12:33 AM

    Hey all,
    I have solved problem with help of one my friend..Actually its possible through routing the service. I agree its a different approach than service callout but it acts as a quick fix.
    The key issue is to map :
    1. Request in format of Proxy service schema to Request of Business service (Legacy service-In this case Siebel)
    2. Response in format of Proxy service schema to Response of Business service (Legacy service-In this case Siebel)
    This is possible using XQuery transformation.
    Steps to achieve this::
    1. Create a XQuery by mapping proxy service schema and business service schema.
    2. Now Create message flow as following: Proxy service-->Pipeline Pair-->Stage1-->Route to business service.
    3. Now in stage1, choose Add an action-->Message processing-->Replace.
    4. In replace, do this - Replace ./* in variable body by Xquery which you created in 1.
    This will work smoothly.
    If any problems, let me know. If any insights on above, please comment.
    Will update this thread whenever I get info about service callout working. Meanwhile anybody searching for quick fix, can use this.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Can I convert a series of adjustment layers into a single action?

    Hello,
    I have a Photoshop CS6 document with 20-some adjustment layers and would like to be able to apply their effect to multiple image files. I'm looking for a way to convert the series of adjustment layers into a single action so that I can batch process a set of images. Can this be done?
    Unless I'm missing something, it appears that no trivial solution exisits. For example, there's no option that allows for selecting the adjustment layers, right clicking them, and choosing 'convert to action.' What I want to avoid is having to redo each adjustment layer just for the sake of recording an action.
    Also, I understand that I can always "place" (i.e. drag and drop) the image requiring processing into the Photoshop document containing the adjustment layers, saving a merged copy as jpeg, and repeat... but such a manual method would border on insulting to this prowess of a program.
    If anyone can get creative and suggest a method of recording an action that can make use of the document with the adjustment layers and a variable document that will be passed through during the batch process, I'm all eyes!
    Many thanks.

    You have the other choice with drag/drop or duplicate where you copy the adjustment layers into the other image document.  Target all the adjustment layers in the layer palette click on the first one the Ctrl|CMD+click on the others or if adjacent Shift+click on the last one to target all the adjustment layer then use menu Layer>Duplicate Layers...  and use the pull down menu in the pop-up dialog to choose the other open image document.
    You can of course record an action when you add all the adjustment layers then play that action on the other images. Twenty adjustment layer on top of an image seems a bit extreme to me.

  • 'Abnormal condition' whenever i try to click on End Action selection button

    Cannot choose an End Action or Menu Remote action for anything as this message comes up every time I try to select, in any context (I have tried on several different timelines in different places).
    Full message is 'Sorry, an abnormal condition has been detected. Before quitting, you have one chance to save your project (don't use the same name as the original).

    I am finding I am getting the same error.
    I have a single 23Gb file (created in Premiere) with Chapter points created and named in Encore. Chapter playlists work for start point for menus but when I try to select an end action (or any action on the Properties box for that matter) I get the same error as JXT.
    I rebuilt the DVD again, mostly from scratch but using the same menus. Same error. I built it with new menus (thinking some sort of corruption) but same error. If I could type the end action that would be a good workaround, but you can't.
    Any ideas????
