Suppression Days
Note: The Suppression Days field temporarily pauses the alert for a specified duration after its resolution, ensuring that it is not triggered again during that period.
Alert Type Details
Double-click on the alert type to access the Alert Type Detail window. Make the necessary adjustments within this window, and then click SAVE to apply your changes.

Edit Lookup Table Assignment
Double-click the lookup table to access the Edit Lookup Table Assignment window. In this window, you can modify the dates or click DETAILS to adjust the lookup values. Once you have made your changes, click SAVE to finalize your updates.
To view the full lookup table for the selected alert type, click on DETAIL. Each line represents a distinct alert categorized under the Missing Suitability Profile type. To explore a specific alert, double-click the relevant row, such as Missing Suitability - Birth Date Unsolicited in the example provided.
In the Lookup Table Row Detail window (see Figure), check the flags: Birth Date should be set to Yes
(1), and Solicited should be set to No
(2). If these indicators suggest an overestimated risk, you can lower the risk value accordingly. For instance, if the alert flag for Missing Suitability is 10
, you may adjust it to -8
. This adjustment will result in a risk value of 2
.
After making the necessary changes, click SAVE (3).
Employee Assignment Rule Setup
In the Employee Assignment Rule Setup tab, choose the desired Employee Assignment Rule from the available list. Once you have made your selection, click SAVE to finalize your changes.
Adjusting Risk Value
The system employs multiple alert types, each requiring assessment against a Risk Value of 1. By default, every alert is assigned a risk value according to its specific type.
To proceed, select the Alert Type (2) — for instance, Missing Suitability Profile — and double-click on the Assigned Lookup Table (3).
