The
System Alert entity provides the ability to create and distribute important messages to
Calyx RIM users and groups.
System Alerts can be viewed and modified from the
System Alerts tab located in the list view of the
Navigation pane. System Alerts can be created by users with
WRITE or
ADMIN permissions only. System Alerts, when distributed are displayed in the Alert Center on the
Calyx RIM
Home Page.
To create a System Alert using the
New menu:
-
On the
New menu located on the
Calyx RIM menu bar, select
System Alert.
-
On the
Create System Alert window, enter attributes for the system alert.
Required fields are indicated by an asterisk.
-
Click
Save.
Your newly created System Alert will appear in the Alert Center on the Effective Date for the Alert for the specified users or groups.
Note: You can create a System Alert without assigning recipients. It will appear in the System Alert tab and can be distributed at a later time. After recipient users or groups are assigned, the system alert is distributed and viewable by those recipients.
Note: System Alerts are not in synch with LDAP. System Alerts will only be distributed to users in a group that were in the group when it was selected for the System Alert. If you know users have been added to a group after the System Alert using that group has been created you can modify the Alert, remove the group, and save the Alert. Then modify the Alert once more and re-add the group.
The
System Alert attributes page appears.
