Overview of Alerts in Workforce Compensation Plan Worksheets

You can use alerts to let worksheet managers know about issues that require their attention. You enable alerts to appear in the task worksheets of workforce compensation plans using the Configure Worksheet Display task.

You enable predefined alerts and build and enable your own alerts using the Configure Alerts task. The triggering events for the alerts that you build are the same as the events for dynamic columns. And how you build alert conditions is the same as building dynamic column conditions. To test each alert condition that you build, use the Test alert conditions icon on the toolbar.

Alert names are the actual alert that managers see in their worksheets. You show them additional information, such as how to fix an issue, in the description. For example, you have an alert titled Can't allocate more than target. The description is Adjust this individual's allocation to be less than or equal to the target.
