Alerts Page

There are two types of manual alerts:

• Business alerts (B)
• Technical alerts (T)

There are two alert severities:

• 1 (critical - red)
• 2 (warning - yellow)

If both an agent group contact center and a network contact center are selected for the manual alert, two alerts display on the map; that is, if the network contact center has latitude and longitude coordinates.

If both an agent group contact center and a network contact center are selected for the manual alert, the network contact center alert and the agent group contact center alert display in the Alerts panel.

If only an agent group contact center is selected, the agent group contact center alert displays in the Alerts panel.
