Responding to Alerts

Once you have viewed an alert, you may take one of the following courses of action:
Leave it in active status if it is unresolved. The alert remains on the New Alerts list until you acknowledge or
l
delete it. If an alert already exists, the trigger for that AP or user does not create another alert until the existing
alert has been acknowledged or deleted.
Move the alert to the Alert Log by selecting it and selecting Acknowledge. You can see all logged alerts by
l
selecting the View logged alerts link at the top of the System > Alerts page. Select the Alerts link to return to
