If noteworthy events occur during the running of the program, or as a result of user action, depending on the your desired level of detail, these can be sent as Alerts to an administrator or other system operator by e-mail, logged to a file, and displayed in the alerts window on the Alerts Screen.
The screen consists of three portions:
Panel | Description |
---|---|
Log Window | Where any noteworthy event is logged, along with the date and time it occurred and an icon illustrating the severity of the event. |
Alert Setup | Where the user defines the action to be taken in the case of each type of event. |
Inactivity Timer | Where the user may stop the Inactivity Timer Alarm if it is currently sounding. |
To set-up each type of alert, select the alert type from the drop-down list - choose from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3, Level 1 alerts being the most critical. You can then specify a filename to which any event of that level will be recorded. You may also choose an e-mail address to receive notification of such an alert.
Different levels of alerts can have different log filenames and be sent to different e-mail addresses.
When amending the filename or e-mail address for a particular alert, remember to press the Save button to save your changes. Your changes become effective immediately.
The levels of alert are defined as Urgent/Critical, Warnings, and Information, and the events that cause them are described below:
