Role required: Administrator

About this task

Configure an alert to notify the crisis manager of an impending danger, potential harm, or risk that can cause business disruption. Set up filter conditions to notify events or feeds that can happen within a boundary from the location of your assets.

Configuring an alert rule: Define simple conditions to evaluate an alert rule and determine the feed items that generate an alert. These alerts are displayed on the Crisis Management map.

Feed condition filters

Use these filter conditions to set your rules for a feed alert. Setting filter conditions help you to filter those alerts that are critical to your business locations from the thousands of feeds that come from the feed resources you have subscribed. Business locations can be corporate offices, employee locations, data centers, suppliers, and others.

Advanced condition script filters

Use the advanced rules option to set a filter rule with a condition script. For example, you can set a condition based on the proximity of the crisis to your asset locations. You can also make the rule active.
