Set up alerts for monitoring

In this article, we explain how to set up alert recipients and configure monitoring alerts.

Written by Emma Ianson

You can set up alerts to monitor critical visits and worker activity, such as when logged timings fall outside set tolerances. Alerts can be sent to different recipients and scheduled so they’re received during working hours or by on‑call staff.

What alerts are used for

Alerts notify selected recipients when:

  • Visits are marked as Critical.

  • Worker logged times don’t meet configured tolerances.

  • Monitoring data is captured through mobile, ECM, biometric, or legacy solutions.

You can control who receives alerts, when they receive them, and which workers or clients they apply to.

  1. Click Monitoring and Alerts.

  4. Choose the recipient you want to update, then click Properties.


Configure recipient details

  1. Click Recipient Details, then enter or update the recipient’s details.

  2. Choose the Recipient of type:
