Editing an alert

Alerts are based on events surrounding report packs, dashboards or scan jobs. An example of an event is a scan job that does not complete. You decide which events you want to know about, and you will be notified by email when such an event occurs. You can only edit alerts for one item at a time, because the events that trigger an alert vary depending on the type of folder item: dashboard, scan job, or report pack.

Before you begin

Note: You need to set up your email address properly in your user settings, or your alerts will not work.
