Defining Alert Thresholds

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to Add an alert threshold in SAP Fieldglass..

Thresholds - Alert

Alert Thresholds are used to notify users of specific events before or when they occur.

When an alert threshold is met, a message is sent or displayed to the specified users when the related message is enabled. Brian, for example, may get a notice when a worker’s end date is approaching.

3Threshold Type indicates how the threshold is measured. Many can be toggled between hours or days. Others are set to measure a percentage.
4Some Threshold Types can include a range of parameters. These will be listed in a table format in the Threshold column and indicate the five possible ranges that can be set. As indicated here, alerts will be posted at 5 days before, 3 days before, 2 days before, and on the date of event. These Threshold Type Range parameters can be edited as well.
