Only on these weekdays

If you want the alarm to only go off on certain days of the week, select those weekdays. If no weekdays are selected, the alarm can go off on any day of the week.

Only during these weeks of the month

If you want the alarm to only go off on certain weeks of the month, select those weeks by checking the corresponding checkbox to the right of the calendar. The alarm can be set to go off on either the first, second, third, fourth or last week of the month. (Note that, in some cases, the fourth and last weeks of a month are the same and the alarm will only go off once.)

Only during these months

By default, the alarm can go off during any month.

If you want the alarm to go off only during certain months of the year, check the box for each month that you want the alarm to possibly occur.

For example, you want an alarm to remind you to check the air conditioner settings and, therefore, to go off only during the summer months. Simply create an alarm that goes off every week, on Monday, perhaps. Next, select the Advanced page on the alarm's property sheet. Check the checkbox for June, July, and August (or whatever are the summer months where you are). The alarm will now go off only during June, July, and August.

Occur…

Any day

Events will occur on any day—workday or non-workday.

Only on workdays (skip non-workdays)

Events will occur only on workdays. If an event would fall on a non-workday, Alarm++ skips that event and moves to the next one.

Never on workdays (skip workdays)

Events will never occur on workdays. If an event would fall on a workday, Alarm++ skips that event and moves to the next one.

Only on workdays (move to next workday)

Events will occur only on workdays. If an event would fall on a non-workday, Alarm++ moves the event ahead to the next workday.

Never on workdays (move to next non-workday)

Events will never occur on workdays. If an event would fall on a workday, Alarm++ moves the event ahead to the next non-workday.

Only between these times

Events will only occur if they are within the specified time range. Please note that the times are inclusive, so if the time range is 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, and an event occurs at 8:00 am, it will go off.

Please note that this setting can be used only if the alarm repeats by minutes or hours. (This is because if the alarm repeats by days, weeks, or anything else, it always occurs at the same time.)
