Remarks on the Program Function
With this program, you can update the data for alert conditions, i.e. create new data records, alter or delete existing records. You can also view the stored data for information purposes.
An alert will only be generated in the OCAR program if a subscriber for the alert message has been set up in the system and if the corresponding alert parameters with their specific alert conditions have been defined.

Remarks on the Input Fields
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these basic data
Just like in almost any other program:
- The input mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some input fields may be missing.
- Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
- The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
- If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the dialog window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark colour, deactivated switches are lighter-coloured.
Alert Condition Type
Field with defined selection options
In
this field you can define the type of alert condition of which you would like
to update the parameters.

The system offers you a selection from the following alert condition types:
- --------
- Db conditions
- Syst. conditions

Example (Db conditions):
An alert message is required at the administration desk for a specific operator, e.g. when the amount in a drawer exceeds a limit of 5000 €.
The following parameters should be set under Alert
conditions:
- Table no. (MoneyTerm)
- 1st attribute = BranchNo; Operator = ; value 1 (branch 1)
- 2nd attribute = TerminalNo ; Operator = ; value 40 (terminal 40)
- 3rd attribute = Payment type ; Operator = ; value 1 (paym.type EURO)
- 4th attribute = CalcAmount ; Operator > ; value 500 (amount > 500)
- 5th attribute = Interval ; Operator = ; value = 4 (day)
NOTE:
If no value is set for IntervalNo. (year = 1, month = 2, week = 3, day = 4, shif
= 5) it is possible that the warning message appears at the administration desk
several time if the hard total is set for statistics table for several periods.
