Previewing grids for alerts

Preview the grid for alerts. The system does not always display the number of alerts the system creates once the alert management process is run. The system must consider if the alert is using min/max evaluation and delays in order to get the correct number of alerts to generate. For example, previewing the grid may show temperature records for many pieces of equipment, but some may not meet the criteria set up in Min Value or Max Value. Also, some equipment may have a delay period in which you do not want to create additional work orders or e-mails for equipment continuing to meet a threshold.

To preview grids for alerts:

  1. Open the Alerts form.
  2. Select the alert for which to preview the grid, and then click the Record View tab.
  3. Click Preview Grid.
  4. View the results.
  5. Click Close.
    Note: To set the Next Evaluation Date for the alert, click Schedule Now.
