TIM Plus can be configured to raise an alert when particular events occur on the system. The alerts can saved to a log file on the local disk or send out as an email notification. Below is a description of the type of alerts generated in TIM Plus:

Alert	Description
Critical	A critical alert notifies you of any events that have occurred, which are detrimental to the system, e.g. database failure.
Warning	A warning alert notifies you of non-critical events that have occurred, e.g. you have exceeded your license limit.
Information	An information alert notifies you of system events that have occurred, e.g. if the application service has been restarted.

To send any of the alerts type as a notification email, enter the email address in the text box alongside each type of alert, as shown below.

To send alerts to multiple email addresses, separate each entry with a semicolon.

By default, the alerts are also outputted to a log file, using the following dynamic variables to define the path of the folder that the files will be stored in: {app}\logs\{year}\{year}-{month}-{day}. The dynamic variables used to define the path are explained in the table below:

Item	Description
app	The full installation path of TIM Plus
year	The year the data was captured in yyyy format
month	The month the data was captured in mm format
day	The day of the month when data was captured in dd format

To choose a different location to store the logs files, overtype the current entry.

When you have finished configuring the settings, click on the button to apply the changes, as shown below:
