Use these fields and options to set up credit card past due alerts.

Field Description
Save Rule Click this option to save the changes in the settings for the alert without closing the dialog box. (This option is disabled if there are no changes to be saved.)
+ Add Rule Click this option to add a new alert rule. On the Add Rule dialog box, enter a unique alert rule name for the new alert and click OK to close the Add Rule dialog box. The new rule name is displayed in the Alert Rule field.
Copy Rule Select an alert rule in the grid with settings that you want to copy into a new alert rule and then click Copy. On the Copy Rule dialog box, enter a unique alert rule name for the new alert rule and click OK to close the Copy Rule dialog box. The new rule name is displayed in the Alert Rule field with the same settings as the alert that you copied.

Field Description
Alert Rule This field displays the name of an alert rule that was previously created. If you are creating a new alert rule, click Add Rule on the toolbar and enter the new alert rule name on the Add Rule dialog box. Each alert rule name must be unique.
Rule 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.
Employee Groups Select the employee group for which you want to apply a new rule for the alert. If you have already created rules, select the employee group for which you want to view or modify existing rules. After you enter an employee group in this field, the grid on the dialog box displays all the alert rules that are set up for the selected employee group.

When you select [All Groups], the rules that you create for the alert will apply globally for all employee groups, and you do not have to create the same rules individually for each group.

Languages This field displays if your firm uses multiple languages. Use this to select the language for this alert. Only employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this field blank, all employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language. For example, if you create an email alert for English US and English UK, then only the users that have English US or English UK in the Language field in the Employees hub receive that message. The system administrator must set up a separate alert rule for Spanish employees to receive a message in Spanish. The Language field displays <languages selected> if any languages are selected.
