Alert Viewer

System Alerts (maintained via File>System Configuration>System Alerts) provide facility to have a ‘pop-up’ message appear on your PC at a selected time after an alert condition has arisen.  (For Example: A Purchase Order has overdue Lines). The notification can then be forwarded (emailed) to the relevant Employee should any action be required.

Whenever an Alert is ‘triggered’ a notification appears on the screen for a few seconds.  Subsequently you may click on one of three ‘icons’ displayed on the bottom right of the screen (‘Low’, ‘Medium, or ‘High’ severity) and a panel is displayed that shows:
