Inserting an Alert
You insert an alert and its criteria using the Alerts and Build Alert panes in the Alert file.
1. If the Alert file is not already open, then open it. You open this file in the same way as any other file.
2. In the last table row in the Alerts pane, click < Click here to insert a new record>.
3. Complete this window and click OK to insert the alert.
4. In the
Build Alert pane, make a selection for
Alert type and then complete any additional options that become available. For more information, see
Alert Types.
5. In the Criteria area, insert any selection criteria for refining the alert.
6. To process the alert, select Enabled in the Alerts pane.
The Windchill Risk and Reliability Alert Service processes enabled alerts in the order in which they appear in the Alerts pane. To reorder alerts, you can use the standard Windows drag-and-drop technique.
While you can directly modify the data in the
Alert Name,
Enabled, All System Files, and
Remarks columns in the
Alerts pane, you must use the procedure described in
Specifying the Time Interval for the Alert to change the time interval. You can cut, copy, paste, and delete records in the same manner as in the
System file.
