Alerts
Types of Alerts
The Alert functionality can be applied as a property of a flowchart or a node, and includes two types of alert messages, which are based on the time limit of the process or node.
Preliminary Alerts are sent at a specified time before a process or node reaches its scheduled time limit.
Alert Intervals determine the time between the sending of periodic alerts after a process or node has passed its due date.
If these values are not specified for a flowchart, the default system values will be used.
If these values are not specified for a node, the corresponding values set for the flowchart will be used.
Note: This time interval can be influenced by the check interval time (the time interval for executing the query on a past due date).
