Overview:
This guide shows how to edit the configuration of an existing absence alert within an Alert Group.
How Alert Configuration Works:
Each Alert Group contains one or more alert rules (e.g., “3 sicknesses in 6 months”). These rules can be edited at any time to reflect updated requirements, such as changes to timeframes, trigger types, or recipient groups.
How to Edit an Absence Alert Configuration:
- Go to Admin > Notifications > Alerts.
- Use the search bar at the top to locate the alert group you want to update.
- Click the List button next to the group to view its linked absence alerts.
- Use the search bar again if needed to find the specific alert you want to update.
- Click the Edit button next to the alert rule.
- The alert configuration screen will now open.
- Update any settings as required (e.g., absence type, threshold, timeframe, recipients).
- Hover over the info icons beside each setting for helpful explanations.
- Once changes are complete, click Save at the top of the page.
