Alarms in GoldMine are great! They remind us to make our calls, show up on time for appointments, and get things done!
When scheduling an activity with an alarm, you’ll notice GoldMine sets the default “Alarm Lead Time” to 10 minutes before the activity is set to occur. This can be changed on an activity-by-activity basis but you also have the ability to change the default lead time.
Go to Tools | Options (Edit | Preferences in GoldMine 7 & Below) and select the Alarms tab and change the Alarms default lead time to whatever suites you!
P.S. - For All The Moms Out There!

I have had many appts missed because GM pops up after the appointment. this happens mostly with outlook meetings that are accepted. I see the meeting in the calander but the reminder pops up sometimes days later, even when the reminder is set to pop up long prior to the meeting. I do have a lot of reminders it that would have an impact

Cool thanks, I always thought that default of 10 minutes was annoying. I never thought to check for that setting.

Tony,
A Couple of Ideas...
1) In GoldMine 7.0 and below alarms are shown in order, so an alarm set for yesterday that wasn't dealt with, will show today before any alarm set for today.
2) If you're on a dBASE GoldMine be sure you are indexing nightly, etc... It could be a database issue.
Thanks!
Chad
