- Click + next to each User or Group to send emails and push notifications when the alert is triggered.

Notification Methods
When creating an alert and defining an alert rule, you can check one or all methods in the Users/Notifications tab on the left-hand menu.
- Email Alert
- Push Alert via mobile phone
- Client Alert
Only Users who have been given permission to receive or enable Client Alert notifications can utilize Client Alert options. If no permission has been given, the Client Alert boxes will be grayed out and a prohibited icon will appear and will be prompted with “This user does not have permission to use this option." Enable the Client Alert notification permission within the User Group permissions under Remote Client Permissions.
Active Alerts in Mobile
After Push Notifications have been enabled for a User added to an Active Alert, an indicator will appear on the navigation menu of the mobile app showing the amount of Active Alerts.
Click on the menu to view the number of each type of Active Alert.
