    Full User control over Custom Alarm Durations for calendar reminders

    ***EDIT**** Sorry - this was my first forum post and I realized I put it under the wrong category - my apologies. I've reposted this under FEATURE REQUESTS***



    I've been a Deja customer for over 10yrs. Absolutely love it! What makes it so awesome is its ability to be so customizable by the user for how they actually use the app and its features.

    But what has always been a head-scratcher for me is the almost zero control over the 15 time duration options one has when a calendar notification pops up. Yes - I know you can create a "Custom" time - but why can't I just create a list of 15 that I WANT so they're always at my fingertips that I can respond with minimal interaction?!

    Calendar appointment notifications are HUGE. Hard stop. We all know it. I think it could be as simple as replacing the "Clear Custom Alarm Durations" under the ALARM SETTINGS with a "Define/Set Custom Alarm Durations". Have 15 blank slots that you input the number and pull-down the time units as normal. If you only fill up 10 slots - then only 10 show up with "Custom Snooze" still listed as the last option. But you're still limited at the current 15 potential time values.

    Please consider this upgrade. Thank you for considering.

    But thank you more for keeping such a great product strong and dependable!

    Brain,

    Just to be sure have you checked under the DejaOffice Settings > Alarm Settings > tap the Default Alarm option. At the bottom there is an option for Custom. If you add one it will appear on the list. If you tap the Custom option again and add a second, third, etc one, they will also appear on the list. These items should remain until you use the Clear Custom Alarm Durations.

      Thank you for your quick response, Thomas. Yes, I've experimented with that very technique you've described. It certainly allows me to add, but I cannot remove any of the default values.

      I want to remove all the trivial "minute" snooze options (1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes) - I don't schedule any of my reminders to pop up so near the actual event time, so they're just "clutter" to me and forces me to scroll down to find my desired snooze time.
