Alerts

Alerts are pop-up messages that inform you that an action is required for a MineMarket object. Alerts pop up from the system tray task bar. When the alert window displays, you can ignore, dismiss or click the link on the alert pop-up to display the MineMarket screen requiring action.

You can also use the Alert Editor to set up email alerts.

Alerts are triggered whenever the SQL query runs and returns records from the MineMarket database.

Key Identity Data Fields

If an alert is triggered, an alert record is made with a key based on the key identity data fields. You can select which field names returned from the SQL query are the key identity data fields.

Example 1: An alert SQL query returns the following data.

VesselID	DespatchID
Morning Star	Despatch-0001
Southern Sun	Despatch-0002
Morning Star	Despatch-0003

If you check only DespatchID, three alert instances are triggered. However, if you check only VesselID, only two alert instances are triggered. If the alert needs to consider despatches for which the vessel is changed, you must check both fields.

Example 2: Another alert SQL query returns the following data.

Contact	Country
Andrea	AU
Sam	AU
Andrea	ID

If you check either Contact or Country, only two alert instances are triggered. You need to check both fields to trigger all three alert instances.
