FlexNet Operations Alert Types

Alerts can be used to notify specified users about different types of conditions or events.

In new installations of FlexNet Operations, all alerts are set to Inactive. If you want an alert to run, you must set its status to active and define an interval at which it is to run. (Upgrades of FlexNet Operations from previous versions retain the previous alert status.)
