Alerts Glossary
Active
Designates the alert as active. When an alert is active, it is sent to subscribers based on the defined schedule, once the condition is met. Active alerts display in the ‘Alert Name’ list box on the Welcome to Alerts screen.
Alert Condition
The qualifying event that triggers the alert. For example, an alert notifies you when voids are greater than x amount of dollars.
Data Warehouse
A central repository for the polled data collected from your stores. A data warehouse allows Aloha Insight to perform data queries, projections, and data summaries.
Drilldown Links
Links that when used in an alert message, enable the subscriber to activate Drilldown Viewer and perform further analysis. The only time you can use a drilldown link is within an alert message when you send the alert to the Alert Viewer.

Keywords
Predefined data elements that reside in the data warehouse. When you insert keywords in to an alert message, they display within percentage signs. For example, %AlertName%. When the alert is sent, the actual alert name is embedded within the alert without the percentage signs.
