Creating Personal Alerts

All users can create, edit, and delete personal alerts. Personal alerts are only visible for the user who created them.

  1. Click the Alerts tab in the application toolbar.

  2. Click the Manage Alerts tab.

  3. In the side panel, under My Alerts, click Add New.

  4. Select one of the alert types.

  5. Select the alert conditions, when applicable. For example, select the parameter and the value(s) that trigger the alert.

    NOTE: If two conditions have to be met, select Add secondary condition and enter its values.

  6. When applicable, complete the automatically generated reset condition(s). The reset condition determines when the alert ceases to be active. See Resetting.

    NOTE: The alert name has been automatically generated based on your selections. However, the automatic generation will not work after editing the name manually and after saving the alert.

  2. Select the alert state:

  1. Disabled: Alerts do not show up in the Manager/Navigator views and notifications will not be sent.

Disabled alerts can also be used as alert drafts.

  1. Click Save to save and view the alert configuration. Click Edit to modify the alert configuration, if needed.
