Define Alerts

You can set up alerts for notifications of upcoming lease and option due dates. Lease and Portfolio Administrators can receive alerts as:

There are default notifications already set up for the Lease Administrator and Portfolio Manager roles. If needed, you can edit these default settings, or you can define alerts for additional roles.

You define alerts by specifying:

Notifications are customizable by user role. You associate an alert with a role; users assigned to that role receive the alert on the specified number of days before the due date, using the notification method defined for the alert.

Color-coding

Alerts are color-coded for three levels of urgency: green, yellow, and red. Typically, green alerts are the least urgent and are issued further from the due date than yellow or red. Yellow is more urgent than green and appears closer to the due date. Red is the most urgent and would appear closest to the due data of any alert. Use the color coding to develop a hierarchy that communicates the appropriate urgency to your users.
