About the Dashboard Alert Viewer
If you have alerts, you'll see the Description, Type, Date, and Sent From columns. The alerts listed in the My Alerts section are from program alerts or custom alerts setup in the 7-6 Alerts Manager.
You can do the following with alerts in this viewer:
- Mark as Read: Removes the bold font from the alert notification. The alert does not show up in the Unread Alerts count afterward.
- Mark as Unread: Leaves the alert notification text bold. The alert continues to show up in the Unread Alerts count afterward.
- Delete: Deletes the alert notification (not the alert itself).
Once you click on an alert, details are visible in the Alert Details section.
Note: Drill down on custom alerts listed in the Dashboard Alert Viewer is not available unless the custom alert contains a record number field for the table you want to drill down to. You can have multiple record number fields, depending on the tables you want to see. For daily payroll custom alerts, there must be a Date field in order to drill down.
