Who this guide is for: System administrators – Requires System Setup permission
Overview:
This guide explains how to edit the configuration of an existing Alert Group at the Global level, including its name, settings, and linked rules.
How Alert Group Configuration Works:
Each Alert Group can be customised to suit specific absence monitoring needs. Editing the group allows you to update its structure or description, without changing the individual alerts it contains.
How to Edit an Alert Group:
- Go to Admin > Notifications > Alerts.
- Use the search bar at the top to locate the alert group you want to edit.
- Click the Edit button next to that group.
- The group’s configuration screen will now be displayed.
- Make any necessary updates to the group name, description, or settings.
- Hover over the info icons for help with each field.
- Once complete, click the Save button at the top right of the page.
Additional Information:
- Alert Group: A container for absence alert rules, applied to relevant absence types.
- Absence Alert: Specific trigger rules housed within an alert group.
- Tip: Use consistent naming for alert groups to support clear reporting and management.
- Editing the group does not affect the individual alert rules inside it—those must be updated separately.
- Use the search function within the platform to quickly find features or settings.
