Alerts
Users with appropriate permissions will have access to the Alerts application. Alerts are notifications that are triggered when specified measurement conditions occur on a station. The Alerts application is used to create, view, edit, and delete alerts, as well as manage alerts when they are triggered.
The Alerts application home page consists of a three panels:
-
Triggered Alerts panel: All current triggered alerts for the organization
-
Alert History panel: The most recent alert-related events
-
All Alerts panel: A list of all alerts the organization has created
Any of the three panels can be expanded to fill the application are by clicking in the top right corner of the panel.
Triggered Alerts panel
The Triggered Alerts panel displays all triggered alerts for the organization that have not been cleared. The header of the panel indicates the number of alerts in parentheses. Click to toggle the sort direction (newest first or oldest first based on trigger time).
Each alert is displayed in its own card. The icon on the car indicates the alert state: red for active or yellow for snoozed. A green check mark indicates the alert has been acknowledged. Hover over the second line of the card (duration or alert or snooze time remaining ) to see additional information.
Use Actions to:
- Acknowledge - Mark the alert as “acknowledged” (doesn’t show if already acknowledged)

Hovering over the comment icon will display the alert message:
CampbellCloud will not automatically clear an alert. Alerts must be manually cleared by a user. This is intentional to ensure that alerts can't go unnoticed.
