Disabling and editing out-of-the-box alerts
After installing or upgrading iMIS, you should review the system alerts tasks to confirm that you do want these alerts to display to users.
You need to review the system alert tasks to ensure that they are configured appropriately for your organization. If you do not want a system alert task to generate an alert, you need to disable the task or remove it from all alert sets.
- From the Staff site, go to RiSE > Process automation.
- Select the Tasks tab.
- Open and review the alert tasks:
- If you do not want to use a system task, deselect Enabled.
- Confirm that the task uses an appropriate Conditions data source. The task only runs when the data source returns records.
- Confirm that the Alert is configured appropriately. Without the purchase of the PLUS license some modifications will not be permitted.
- Review the query data sources used as conditions in the enabled tasks. Select the Data sources tab to add or modify a query data source:
- Click Add data source:
- Enter a Data source name. It is recommended that you choose a name that indicates the type of records returned by the data source.
- Select an existing query or click Create source query to add a new query.
- If you select an existing query, the $/Common/Tasks/Queries folder opens by default.
- If you choose to add a new query, you are taken to the Intelligent Query Architect where you can define a new query.
- Modify an existing data source displayed in the Alert Message. If you have not purchased the PLUS license, complete the following for alert messages that contain a data source:
- Remove the defined data source from the Data sources, Conditions, and Alert tabs.
- Create a new data source with the exact same Data source name as the data source defined in the Alert Message.
- Review the data source to validate that the columns are exactly same as the data source defined in the Alert Message.
- Add the new data source to the Data sources on the Alert tab.
- Click Add data source:
- Save your changes.
- Go to RiSE > Process automation.
- Select the Alert sets tab and confirm that the alert tasks are located in the appropriate alert set.
