IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Role alert

A role alert is defined in the system by a role alert rule which represents relationships that are used to generate alerts.

Role alert rules define a combination of roles that, when detected in a relationship or entity, indicate some form of conflict. For example, a role alert rule might indicate that whenever an entity with the Employee role knows an entity with the Vendor role, a role alert exists. This role alert rule can be described as "Employee knows Vendor." When the system finds role alerts in entities or relationships, alerts are created that may be published to the enterprise and seen in the visualizer.

Though most role alert rules specify a combination of two different roles that indicate a conflict, it is also valid to have a role alert rule where an entity of one role knows another entity of the same role. For example, you might want to know about any relationships among your customers and build a role alert rule that generates a role alert any time one customer entity relates to another customer entity. This role alert rule can be described as "customer knows customer."

Role alert rules are based on existing role codes. Roles must be defined before conflict rules can be created around those roles.
