Alerts Grid

Field	Description
Grid Drop-down	Click the drop-down arrow on a grid header to complete any of the following actions: To print grid data, click Print. On the Print Preview form, click File > Print to send the grid data to your default printer. To export grid data to an Excel spreadsheet, click Export to Excel. When Microsoft Excel opens, use its features to modify, print, or email the grid data, or to save the spreadsheet file locally. To turn on grouping for a grid, click Enable Grouping. When a field displays with the instruction: "Drag a column header here to group by that column," drag and drop column headers into the field, in the sequence that you want them to display. Not all options are available on all grids.

Copy	Click a row and then click this option to add a copy of the selected row to the grid.
Delete	Click a row and then click this option to delete it.

Field	Description
Alert Rule Name	This field displays the names of existing alert rules; or, if you are creating a new alert rule, enter the name of the rule. You can change the name of an existing rule; however, all alert rule names must be unique.
Enabled	Select this option to enable the rule. When the alert is Active, this feature allows you to enable only selected rules, without having to delete any unwanted rules. In other words, if the alert is Active, then Vantagepoint will run any one of its Enabled rules. If the alert is not Active, then Vantagepoint will not run any of its rules, even if rules are Enabled.
Languages	This column displays if you use multiple languages. Use this column to select the language for this alert. Only employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this column blank, all employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language. The Language field displays <languages selected> if any languages are selected.
