2.5.2. Alert Group Definition

Shown below is the Alert Group Definition screen.


Use this screen to Add, Change or Delete Alert Group definitions in the batch scheduler database. Alert groups can be used to define a set of users who should be notified in the case of an alert that is raised. When an alert is raised, the batch scheduler system is sensitive to employee work schedules and will only notify users who are scheduled to be in work at the time the alert was raised.
