Viewing Alerts

To view alerts:

  1. From the Auto Delivery menu, choose Alerts. This displays the Alerts page.

  2. The alert messages are grouped and sorted either by Classification or Date, based upon your user preference. The grouping can be changed by using the radio buttons at the top of the window. The arrows on the individual column headers (Name, Status and Message Creation Time) can be used to sort the alert messages within the grouping.

You can select either Group Alerts display option:

Classification - Groups alerts by their categorization.

Date - Groups alerts by the date the alerts were generated.

  1. Access the alert report by either clicking the report Name or the report icon to the left of the report name.

This does not remove them from the subscription list, and the next time the reports trigger alerts, the output will be displayed on the Alerts page.

Note: You can use the Select All icon at the top of the Alerts page to select all the alert messages on the page. The icon toggles to Deselect All , which you can use to deselect all of the alert messages.
