What is the Purpose of Alerts?
Designers and Administrators can configure alerts to query the database for certain parameters that End Users will wish to view once they reach a certain threshold. For example, an alert may be set up for Robberies in District 1: 5 in a week or Travel Time over 4 Minutes: 1 in 4 Days.
How do Alerts Work?
Before Alerts can be created, an Administrator must create Alert Groups and map them to the correct roles.
Alerts may then be created, modified or deleted by an Administrator or Designer.
Alerts Within Selected Group List
Alerts created by the Administrator or Designers can be viewed in the Alerts Within Selected Group List.
You can see the total number of alerts in the Alert Group to the right of the Alerts Within Selected Group heading.
Alerts can be rearranged by dragging and dropping. Left click on an Alert and drag it to the desired position to rearrange.
The buttons below the Alert box will let Designers and Administrators create, edit, copy and delete alerts.
