Manage alerts
After creating an alert rule, an alert will be generated in the system when a situation occurs in accordance with the alert rule registered.
If the option to receive alert notifications is enabled in the alert rule registration, when an alert is opened, the notification will be triggered according to the settings made.
The following actions, with the exception of manually closing the alert, can also be carried out directly in the device properties (only available for network or USB printers).

If customized e-mail is chosen as the rule notification, the e-mail sent will follow the settings made.
By configuring the alert rule, the alert is automatically sent to the chosen recipients, according to the settings selected. The forward function is used to send the alert to addresses other than those defined in the rule when necessary.
Handle the alert
Who can use this feature
Users with the Admin or Handle alerts permissions
Once you have identified an open alert and started to repair it, you can forward it for handling. To do this, follow the steps below:
Access the Warnings > Open menu, or the Monitoring > Printers menu, open the device properties and click on the Warnings tab
Select the alerts you wish to forward for handling
Click on the Process button in the top right-hand corner
Click the Yes button to confirm the action
The selected alerts will move from the Open sub-menu to the Processing sub-menu, helping you to visually identify which alerts are already being handled.
Manually close the alert
Who can use this feature
Users with the Admin or Close alerts permissions
When the system identifies that an alert has been dealt with (regardless of whether it is in the Open submenu or the Processing submenu), it will close the alert automatically and forward it to the Closed submenu.
However, at the user's decision, it is possible to close it manually. To do this, follow the steps below:
Go to the Warnings > Processing menu
If the alert is still in the Open submenu, forward it to handling so that you can close it manually.
Locate the alert you want to close
Click on the ⋮ button at the end of the line
Click on Finish
Enter a comment about the alert in the Comment field, observing a minimum of 5 characters and a maximum of 255 characters
The comment you enter will appear in the alert history.
Click the Save button to close the alert
The selected alert will move from the Processing submenu to the Closed submenu.
Once the alert has been closed manually, the system will validate it within 24 hours to confirm that it has indeed been closed.
If the system identifies that the alert persists during this validation period (in communication with the device, the same alert is observed again), it will be reopened and move from the Closed submenu to the Open submenu, allowing changes to be tracked through the alert's history.
