Set up an alert

A custom alert watches the items you choose for the conditions you set, and notifies you when they hold for as long as you say. Ready made alerts need no writing: switch one on under Ready made instead.

Before you begin

• Monitoring alerts are on for the environment. The monitoring button, a radar, shows at the top of its monitoring pages when they are.
• Your role opens the page you want to watch, and you have opened that page once, so its items are there to choose from.

Steps

1. Open the page to watch, such as Services.
2. Tap the monitoring button, the radar at the top of the screen.
3. On the Custom tab, tap New alert.
4. Under Items, pick what the alert watches: every item, a management zone, a tag, or items you choose.
5. Under Conditions, pick a measure, a direction and a number.
6. Set For how long the line has to stay crossed.
7. Read the sentence under Your alert, then tap Save Alert.

Result

The alert sits on the page's Custom tab, switched on. If the page was running ready made alerts, the app first asks how to save it, since a page runs one kind at a time. The first check after saving takes a baseline, and the alert notifies you from the next check on.
