Alerts Manager Overview
While the name suggests that only a dealer group may use this feature, this unique exception reporting function can be an important tool for an adviser by notifying them of sales opportunities or monitoring portfolios for movement outside a set benchmark.
Different levels of actions can be applied – notify, warn and breach. Each of these levels defines whether action needs to be taken.

-

Search Criteria – Multiple Criteria
Multiple criteria can be searched for simultaneously by using AND, OR and NOT filters:
-
AND - All criteria within the AND filter must be met
-
OR - Results will meet any one or more criteria in the filter
-
NOT -Inverts or negates the other two filters (returns the opposite results).
-
NOT AND returns clients that don't meet all the criteria in the AND filter, and NOT OR returns clients that don't meet any of the criteria.
To use these filters:
- Select either an AND or OR filter.
- Tick NOT if you wish to negate the filter's function.
- Click OK. The filter criteria is added.
- Now click on the filter to add criteria to the filter.
- Select the criteria settings.
- Click OK. The criteria is added to the filter.
- Continue to add the alert rule to be searched for.
