Type	Description
Alert	Alerts are generated by Event Management in Infor OS or by a PulseAlert BOD. An alert is a business notification or exception indicating that something out of the ordinary has happened in the flow of application documents.

When the task is generated by Workflow, it suspends the execution of the workflow until the task is completed. When a task is completed, the user's response is sent back to Workflow to resume execution of the workflow.
Notification	Notifications are generated by Workflow or by a PulseNotification BOD. A notification is similar to a task, but does not require immediate user action. A notification does not suspend the execution of the workflow.
Alarm	The ION Alarms mobile application for Android devices is available to create monitors, called alarms. In ION Desk, the business administrator can create alarm templates. After the templates are activated, mobile users can use the templates to create alarms in the ION Alarms mobile application. The alarm creator can specify the distribution list for the resulting alert. See the Infor ION Alarms Mobile Application User Guide. Users receive the alert on their Infor Ming.le page, in the Infor Ming.le mobile application, or by email.
