Create a new cargo alert

Enter Overview

The Overview page of the Alert Definition tree allows you to define the Name and Description for the alert; type these in the relevant textbox.

If you want to share the alert with other users, choose a share from the Share dropdown menu.

Select Event Triggers

The Event Triggers page allows you to define the event changes that will cause an alert to be triggered. To enable alerting for a specific event, select the check box next to the event name. Event types include the following:

• Add - occurs when a new item of the correct type is created in Assay

• Edit - occurs when a item of the correct type is updated

• Delete - occurs when an item of the correct type is removed from Assay.

  

Define Filter Conditions

The Filter page is used to define the conditions that cause an alert to be triggered. Each node in the Filter condition represents a section of the Alert Definition. The type of node can be changed using the menu in the top corner, where a Filter event causes a condition to be evaluated, and automatically inserts two Result nodes. These results nodes can trigger an event, or cause a further result to be evaluated.

When defining a Filter node, you can set the following information:

• Field - select the type of information that triggers the event

• Cut - where required, select the cut of crude that the property value should be evaluated for

• Property - select the property that is evaluated

• Condition - enter the condition that should be met in order to trigger the event, using an equality operator if necessary.

When defining a Result node, you can set the following information:

• Trigger Alert - whether an alert is sent if the condition is met

• Priority - the importance of the alert

• Custom message - a custom message to include with the alert message. See Step Filters for more information.

Add Further Conditions

An Alert Definition can have a complex branching structure, where alerts are triggered only when a combined set of conditions is met

Further conditions can be added to Alert Definition to create the required logic for an alert. Changing a node to a Filter type allows conditions for that node to be defined, which in turn adds more Result nodes to the Alert Definition.

It is possible for a single Alert Definition to trigger more than one alert.
