Alert management in HxGN EAM searches the database for specific data and, when found, will alert the user of the existence of such data. The search for this data is based on a user-defined grid. A Dataspy can also be created for this user-defined grid to fine tune the search, and to only select a subset of this data. The selected data is then used to send an e-mail alert, send an ION pulse alert, create a work order, create a work order pick ticket, create a Flex Python event record, or generate PM/Maintenance Pattern work orders.
Alert management functionality allows users to define custom alerts of their own, however, HxGN EAM is delivered with several pre-configured alerts. See "Understanding pre-delivered alerts."
