ARTICLE: Configuring Leave Alerts
Step 1. Create Alert profiles in System Configuration > Alert Profiles
You can have as many alert profiles as you wish so you may, for example, have multiple profiles for different types of leaves.
Add Profile
This sample profile shows an alert profile that will alert the student at 15 minutes "after" the scheduled arrival time (15) if the student has not yet signed back into an On Campus location.
The Time setting is an offset time form the trigger time. For Leave Alerts the trigger times may be either the Departure time or the Return time (see Step 2). You can set time offsets that are before (negative time) or after (positive time) the trigger time for the leave.
Each alert profile may have multiple Alert profile items. This allows you to continue to remind people or to escalate the alert to additional people at different times (ie: different offset times for each profile item)
Step 2. Apply the Alert Profile to a leave type in System Configuration > Leave Types
Open the Leave Type you would like to apply the alert profile to and click the Alerts tab.
Select the Alert Profile in either the Departure or Arrival dropdown. In the previous example, we wanted to apply the alert 15 minutes after the scheduled arrival time so the Alert Profile must be selected in the Arrival dropdown.
Don't forget to save the leave type before leaving the page!
