Alert functions
Alert functions are system functions that trigger automatic notifications and send them to selected users as soon as defined events occur. To do this, conditions are set, such as thresholds, points in time or status changes, and it is specified who receives the message and how often it is repeated. This helps relevant activities to be identified early and dealt with promptly, without the need for constant manual checking. A typical case is a notification when an approval is overdue or a limit has been undershot. Delivery and visibility are controlled through access rights, and the rules can be combined with user-defined queries.
