Turning on alerts

You can turn on alerts to receive an email notification when events occur. In conjunction with product groups, you can additionally configure the alerts to be sent for specific parts and for some alerts, set an acceptable tolerance level before the event is triggered. The alert message will be sent to the address stored in your User Profile.

  1. Select Preferences > Configure Alerts.
  2. If you are an administrator user, select the user from the drop down menu for whom you are configuring alerts.
  3. Select the boxes for the alerts to which you are subscribing. If you have not created product groups, the alert will be turned on for all parts. If you have created product groups, you must edit the selected alerts to assign one or more product groups to the alert. Some alerts have tolerances associated. You must edit each alert that has a tolerance to set the tolerance.
  4. To the left of the alert, click Edit.
  5. Select the product groups for which the alert is to be sent.
  6. For under, over, early, or late shipment alerts, next to the selected product groups specify the tolerance.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Repeat steps 5-8 for each selected alert.
  9. Click Save.
