Alert text

The alert text is the message that is displayed to the user when the alert occurs.

When an alert occurs, the user is shown a specific text. Record this alert text in the properties for the alert.

There are three alert texts:

• Alert text during

  The text that is displayed when a field contains the value that is to be alerted, or when the event occurs today.

• Alert text before / Alert text after

  Separate texts that are displayed before the event occurs or after the event has occurred. These alert texts are only available for an alert on date, for which you have entered a Number of days before or a Number of days after, respectively.

Create an alert text by putting the fields in the correct order one after the other. The fields that you want to use in the message must appear in the data collection.

You can add the alert text in multiple languages. If you only want to create an alert in English (or one of the other basic languages), and not in one of your other languages, then this English alert is displayed for all of the languages that can be configured in General / User / Language choice / Dutch, etc.

In InSite the alerts are displayed in the language of the relevant site. If you want to show alerts in InSite in English, for example, you have to have an English site.

Example: 

An alert with the following text:

Name} ({Employee}) receives a salary greater than € 5,000, namely € {Salary}.

Will be displayed as follows once it has been generated:

P. Johnson (PJOH) receives a salary greater than € 5,000, namely € 5,250.

   You see the languages for which a text has already been added if you have copied a Profit alert. You can add an alert text for each language that a user can select in General / User / Language choice / Dutch, etc.

4. Click on: New. 
5. Select that language for which you want to add an alert text.
6. Click on: Next.

8. Add a Profit field as follows. This field must be part of the data collection:
   1. Insert the cursor in the text, at the location at which you want to add the text.
   2. Select the field in Alert field.
   3. Click on: Insert.
9. In the case of an alert on date, also enter an Alert text before or an Alert text after, depending on your settings on the General tab. These are separate steps in the wizard when adding an alert.
