Alerts are send automatically by the system when an activity is done. Alerts
are sent in three ways
- On software dashboard
- Through email to the registered email id
- On the mobile phone if mobile app is installed
From this page alerts the following can be managed -
a) alerts which are not needed to be sent can be deselected, this is needed in
case some alerts are becoming too frequent, if an alert is deselected it will
not go to anyone
b) if some alerts need to be sent to additional roles / persons it can be managed
through the "Alert Customization" tab
c) If alerts are to be deactivated for a specific employee or group of employees
it can be done from the "Deactivate Alerts" tab
1. Activating / deactivating alerts
You
can search by alert description or by alert group using the drop down in the
first column to see the alerts by module. Some alerts might not be available
on Mobile or on Dashboard, in which case the box is greyed out.
When alerts are activated then they will go to all employees who are supposed to receive them as per the workflow. If you do not want to send alerts to any employee you can deactivate it for him, refer to the third section in this article.
2. Alert customization
For
some alerts you can select the recipients by selecting the roles which will get
this alert. Refer to the images below for more details.
You can add an email to the table given at the bottom as shown below. Any email which is added in this table can be then added to the customization table and alerts will start going to this email. If you deactivate the email then alerts will stop going. You can also delete the added email if you want.
Alerts which are for information can be sent to more than one role through this feature. To add a new role as a recipient of the alert click on the box and a drop down with the list of roles who can get the alert is visible. You can select the value from the drop down and click on Submit.
3. Deactivate alerts for an employee
Select the employee record/records for which you want to deactivate alert and
click on "Deactivate Alerts" button on top left. Status of the employee will
change to Alerts Deactivated. The following changes will happen -

- on Preferences page > Alerts tab employee will see "Stop all email notifications
from EazeWork" parameter selected and will not be able to deselect it

week or once a month listing all pending approvals / activities to be done by
