    The Alert Definition form opens.

  2. Type the alert name in the Alert Name field.
  3. Type the alert description in the Description field.
  4. Complete the remaining fields in the record form. If necessary, press Ctrl+H in the Windows client or F1 in the Web client for each field.

    • The Scheduling tab describes the calculations that trigger when the alert occurs.
    • The Update Info tab describes Format Control considerations and notification messages to be sent.
    • The Work Schedule tab specifies the work schedule that the alert belongs to.

      • Holiday Group specifies the holiday group used when calculating an interval. The holiday group defined here overrides the value of holiday group in the work schedule.
    • The Time Zone tab enables you to choose one of the following:

      • Define a specific time zone by choosing from the drop-down list
      • Define a RAD expression to set the time zone alert
      • Obtain the time zone from a table lookup
    • The To-Do Alert tab enables you to choose one of the following:

      • Define this alert as a To-Do alert
      • Assign an alert group

        Note HPE provides four out-of-box alert groups and you can add new alert groups in the To-Do Alert Type global list. These groups are used to show the types of alerts when you look at your To-Do Alerts window.

        Note For the SLT Alert group, the response target is supported in the out-of-box system, whereas the service target is not supported.

      • Specify the alert message template for this alert group

        The message content is displayed in the To-Do Alerts window. You can use fixed or dynamic expressions as the message template. For example, the 1 in action in $L.file expression means that the information of the ticket description is displayed.
