Alerts

Chancery SMS can automatically monitor information and conditions in the system for changes that are relevant to your role [>>]. When a relevant change occurs, Chancery SMSalerts you to it; for example, when working as a Teacher, you could be notified when another system user records that one of your students will be absent on a future date, or when working as an administrator you could be notified when a time-consuming report is complete, or when an unusual attendance pattern occurs [>>]. Chancery SMSalerts you only to those conditions to which you have subscribed [>>]. A District Administrator sets up alerting parameters [>>].

Chancery SMS generates an alert [Figure 22] for you when information matches criteria defined in an alert definition. Chancery SMS checks all alert definitions every five minutes. (Alert definitions [>>] are assigned to roles by an administrator or technician.)

Chancery SMS alerts you by displaying:

= An alert icon on the task bar [Figure 22]
= An alert link on the home page [>>] under Alerts [Figure 22]
= (Optional) An alert message sent to your mobile phone [Figure 25].
