Alert stage

An alert stage allows the user to raise bespoke process alerts at strategic points in a process (see Process alerts overview for more information). When an alert stage is executed it will send a specified message to users. The message is defined as an expression that gives a Text result. An example of an alert stage might be to send users an alert with the message such as "Primary processing complete, 100 cases found".

1. Enter a name – The name that you enter identifies the alert, it will be displayed on the process diagram.
2. Enter a description – The additional description field allows a lengthier narrative to be entered.
3. Enter a message – The message to be sent when the alert is raised. This must be an expression that results in a Text value. For further information on how to construct a valid expression see Calculations and Decisions.
