Defining email alerts

The email consists of the subject line and message specified when the alert was defined. The email also contains a link to the AlertDisplay.aspx page. When the user clicks on the link, the user is taken to the Alert Display.aspx page opened to the specific alert that triggered the email.

Email addresses must be specified in full with no abbreviations. Any errors in the email addresses are handled by your email application. Many email systems send error notifications to the email address that sent the email.

To define email alerts:

  1. In the Exceptions group, select Alert > Add.
  2. In the Name box, specify a name for the exception.
  3. Click the Advanced button.
  4. In the From box, specify the email to use as the from address.
  5. In the To box, specify a list recipients to receive the email. Separate the email addresses with a semi-colon.
  6. Optionally, in the Subject box, specify a subject line.
  7. Optionally, in the Message box, specify the text to use in the message body.
  8. Select an importance level: Low, Normal, or High. The default is Normal.
