| Behaviour Options | |
| Display time | This option specifies how long the alert will be displayed on screen (assuming you don't 'Snooze' or 'Dismiss' the alert). |
| Days history to display | You may specify how old alerts can be before they are no longer displayed. This looks at the Reminder date set in the task, and if this is within the Days History specified, the alert will still be displayed. After the initial reminder date/time has passed, if you have not set another 'Snooze' date/time, the alert is displayed each time you log in to HR3 payroll. |
| Close on right click | If you choose this option, it allows you to close the alert simply by right clicking within the alert window. It will be displayed again when you log in to HR3pay (if the original reminder date is within the Days History specified). |
| Hot-tracking | By default each alert that is displayed appears translucent. With Hot-tracking selected, hover your mouse over the alert and it becomes a solid pop-up window. |
Once alerts are displayed and then automatically hidden (and you haven't Snoozed or Dismissed them) a blue envelope is displayed in the Task Tray for your PC. You may right click or double click on this blue envelope to re-display all reminders:
