Image: Alerts pagelet

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Alerts pagelet. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this pagelet to view past or upcoming events and dates related to your direct reports. These alerts are grouped by alert level: critical appearing first, then by all warning alerts, and finally informational alerts. Within each level, the pagelet then sorts the alerts by type. There are seven alert types delivered for the Alerts pagelet:

• ePerformance

• eCompensation

• Expiring Licenses/Certificates

• Expiring Memberships

• Scheduled Training

• Birthday Alerts

• Anniversary Alerts

The administrator defines the rules for when an alert moves to another level for each alert type. All alerts are time sensitive and the system generates them by comparing the current date to the date specified for each alert type and level.

Use the More Alert Information page (UX_ALERT_DTL) to view details regarding all alerts associated with your direct reports.
