Info-Alert’s main menu provides an “easy
to navigate” user interface.
From Info-Alert’s Main Menu a listing of
available alerts is displayed when
choosing “Select Alerts”.
Select
Alerts Screen
The
“Select Alerts” screen provides a
listing of many pre-defined alerts from
which to choose.
The “Setup” button opens a screen for
the input of various sets of parameters
for each selected alert and the
“Schedule” button opens a screen to
schedule when and how often a selected
alert will run.
Select
Alerts - Setup
The
“Alert Setup” function allows the
ability to enter multiple sets of
parameters for each selected alert. Two
from/thru entries are available to
identify groups of records to monitor as
well as an Individual ID entry as an
“addition to” the from/thru groups. A
3rd “trigger” field tells Info-Alert
what to look for in the defined groups
of records. An unlimited number
parameter scenarios can be set for each
alert.
Select
Alerts -
Notification
Each set
of parameters can have any number of
notification email ID’s to designate who
will be notified when records are found
for this alert. Also a “personal report”
can be designated for the printing of
alerts every day or any other timeframe
such as a summary report by month. This
is especially useful when a desired
recipient does not have an email
address.
Select
Alerts - Schedule
Info-Alert provides a function to
“schedule” when and how often each alert
will run. A default setting is given for
each alert to run “once daily”, “Mon
thru Fri” and can be changed to run on
specific days and to run on an “hourly”
basis. And, to prevent alerted records
from showing up continuously until
resolved, the ability is given to
“suppress” the notification of an alert
record for a given period of time before
re-notifying.
Select
Alerts - Run
The
Select Alerts “Run” option allows for
any alert to be “Run on Demand” any time
a user wants to see if an alert and
given parameters will generate any
records from the data-base. This is a
useful tool when needing to “test” a
parameter set.
Example
of generated Alert Records
Either
through the Alert “Run on Demand” or
normal alert processing, a recipient
will receive the alerted records in a
format similar this example.
