Schedule tasks for alerts

You generate all active alerts in an environment or only the alerts of a specific definition category.

If you only use a few alerts, you can generate all alerts. If you have a lot of alerts, you can filter by definition category. This has the following advantages:

• You only generate the alerts you actually need, instead of all active alerts.
• Because you do not generate all alerts, the workload of the system is reduced.

Schedule a task for all active alerts

You schedule a task for generating all active alerts in the environment.

To schedule a task:

1. Follow the default procedure for scheduling the Generate signals task.
2. In a separate step, you can link a definition category, but you leave this field empty and complete the wizard.

Schedule a task for active alerts with a definition category

You schedule a task for generating all active alerts of a specific definition category.

Example: only generate the alerts of the ‘Controlling’ category:

1. Go to: General / Management / Authorisation settings / Definition category.
2. Add the Controlling category.
3. Go to: General / Management / Alert / Definition.
4. Select the alert.
5. Click on: Definition.
6. Link the alerts of the Controlling type to the Controlling category.
7. Follow the default procedure for scheduling the Generate signals task.
8. Link the 'Controlling' definition category.
9. Complete the wizard.
