Dealing with Reminders

Like other Metro‑style apps, Calendar provides notifications using the standard, system‑level notifications that you see from time to time. As you may know, Windows 8 offers two basic notification types, full‑screen warnings and pop‑up toast notifications that appear in a thin strip near the top right of the screen. Calendar uses the latter type, and at the configured time, you’ll see a Calendar notification toast appear, as in Figure 8‑33. Click the toast and Calendar will load so you can view more details about the event.
