Remarks on the Program Function
With this program, you can update the data for user-defined alerts, i.e. create a new data record, modify or delete existing data. You can also view the stored data for information purposes.

User-defined messages will be caused at the POS terminal
via the keyboard event <n:ALERT>
or <fALERT;n> or at the
administration terminal via the menu command System -> Alert -> Send User Alert.

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 data 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.
