Alerts allow hazards, or other important warnings or information regarding an asset to be conveyed to all users when they access tasks on that specific asset.
Alerts are limited to three defined levels of alerts to which each organisation can design their own procedures around:
Information
Restricted Access
No Access
Where can I see alerts?
Alerts that are currently active (ie. not yet expired) are visible to all users in both the web and mobile apps when a user is interacting with an individual task.
Add or edit alerts
Currently, alerts can only be added via the web interface of Maintainly.
To create an alert on one, or multiple assets:
Navigate to Tasks > Alerts in the left side menu;
In the site dropdown, select the site applicable to this alert;
Click add;
Nominate the title, type and start date of the alert;
If a specific expiration date and time is known, that can be added now also, otherwise leave the expiry date blank;
Any details of the alert can be supplied in the description field. This description will be visible to users.
Click the Assets tab;
Click add, and within the popup check all the assets that this alert is to be applied to, then click Confirm;
(NOTE: Currently, only top-level assets can be selected)
Click Save.
Expire an alert
An alert must be manually expired if it does not have a predefined expiry date and time. Alerts can be expired individually, or as a group for multi-asset alerts.
To expire an alert on all applicable assets:
Navigate to Tasks > Alerts in the left side menu;
Click the alert title in the list to edit;
Nominate a future expiry date and time, or click Now to expire immediately;
Click Confirm.
To expire a multi-asset alert on a single asset:
Navigate to Tasks > Alerts in the left side menu;
Click the alert title in the list to edit;
Click the Assets tab;
Click Expire now on the row of the applicable asset.
