Alert Rules Manager dialog box

Administrators can use the Alert Rules Manager to create alert rules. Alert rules are configured by selecting an event and then configuring the alert option that will be performed when that event occurs. This is particularly useful for monitoring printer states. Using alert rules, support personnel can be automatically notified when printers have conditions that could prevent end user printing.

For more information, see Alert rules.

Alert rules grid

The alert rules grid lists all of the defined alert rules, in the order they will be processed. Selecting a rule will display the rule for preview below the grid. The alert rules grid is editable. Use the following procedures from the rules grid.

  • Use the check box in the Enabled column to determine if the rule is enabled or disabled.
  • To change the follow-on action, click in the Follow-on Action cell and select the action you want to take after this rule has been processed. You can continue processing rules or select not to process any additional rules.
