You can define a Multiple Category Conditions Met event. This event type lets you define the categories and the conditions you would like monitored. By default, PPM checks once a day to see if the conditions for the specified categories were met, and generates an alert if necessary.
Note: Unlike all other alerts that are triggered immediately, the frequency and time for Multiple Category Conditions Met alerts is predefined. PPM Professional Services can define different intervals, if necessary.
To define a Multiple Category Conditions Met event:
- Select Multiple Category Conditions Met from the Event drop-down list.
- Double-click on a cell in the Category column to add a category to the table. The default settings for the selected category are loaded into the Transition, Value and And/Or columns.
- Change the default values in the Transition, Value and And/Or columns, as necessary.
- Move or remove the Category rows using the Move Row and Remove buttons respectively.
- Select any of the following options to set the scope of the alert. Depending on your choice, different scope options become available.
