The plan, which was signed off by design and Security in May is to do the following:

Settings
We will reuse the setting for the infographics. You export all information to the greeter or none. If you disable it all of the indicators and the infographics will be disabled. No fine grained control.

Messaging Menu
In the messaging on the greeter we will have all messages that are in the session. But on those messages we will only have the sender and the timestamp. There'll be no preview or other information shown about the message. Removing an item from the messaging menu in the greeter will update the state of the indicator in the session including the "clear all" functionality.

Date & Time Menu
We'll provide only the next five calendar items and the next alarms. Servicing an alarm in the greeter disables it for the session as well. Calendar items will prompt opening the calendar, which may require entering a PIN. We'll ensure that the alarm state on the panel is also conveyed.

Transfers Menu
On the transfers menu we'll keep the state of the icon the same as that in the session. In the menu we'll provide an aggregate of all transfers and provide the functionality to stop all of the current transfers. Individual transfer control will not be provided along with selecting a previous transfer to open the application. That functionality will only be provided in the session.

Sound Menu
We'll provide access to the currently playing media player. This includes the current track/album/artist information along with control of the media player. Volume will also be controllable.
