Configure the Alerts Module

A module is a container for data or a small program that lets you perform a specific task or set of tasks from your dashboard. The Module Library houses these modules. You can add multiple instances of modules to dashboards to track and manage performance and customize workflows. The Module Library contains default modules ready for use. The library is collapsed by default.

The Alerts module lets you monitor and investigate alerts from the dashboard as they are generated. The following procedure helps to configure the Alerts module for the first time. Each CA Chorus discipline requires a separate instance of the Alerts module.

Follow these steps:

  1. Add the Alerts module to your dashboard from the Module Library.
  2. Click the alerts configuration link.
  3. Select the source of alert (for example, your discipline) from the drop-down list.
  4. (Optional) Customize the module label. This text appears as the header on your module. This information is useful when you have multiple Alerts modules on the same dashboard.
  5. Click Save.

    The Alerts module opens.

  6. (Optional) Click the Configuration icon, define which column headings appear in your module and in what order, and click OK.

    The customized Alerts module is available to display alerts.

  7. (Optional) Repeat this procedure if you are adding multiple modules to one or more dashboards. Each discipline requires a separate Alerts module.
