Determining the Content for a Volume Alert

A Volume alert requires that a date and volume type condition be selected. You may also leverage the field picker (Locating Fields) and Expression Editor (Building an Expression) to add more conditions.

To determine the Content for a Volume alert:

1. Open (see Managing Alerts) or create (see Creating Alerts) a Volume alert.
2. Click the Content tab.
3. If desired, check the Meets specific condition and Evaluated by boxes to add more conditions to the Alert Definition field.
4. Click links to define alert conditions:
   1. Volume Condition – to select the numeric, percentage or change volume that triggers the alert (e.g., greater than 10 files).
   2. [Select Field](text box) – shown when the Evaluated By box is checked and is used to select a field(s) from the metabase by which the volume condition is compared (e.g., more than 10 files for Site/Facility XYZ).
   3. Date Range – to determine which date field should be used and the relative calendar period (specific or all dates) or number of days for calculating the volume (e.g., where theReported Date or File Created date is within This Month).
   4. Specific Conditions – (not shown) when the Meets Specific Condition box is checked, the Expression Editor is available for use (Building an Expression).
5. Click OK to save and close the alert, or click another tab to continue configuring it.
