Defining the Stores Monitored by the Alert Use the Stores Monitored tab to define the stores monitored by the alert. Select Stores to be Monitored Home — Specifies the alert monitors your home store, area, region, or store group. You define the home store, area, region, or store group in User Setup. Selected — Specifies the alert monitors a selected home store, area, region, or store group. Click Select to display a corresponding secondary screen that enables you to specify the store, area, region, or store group. All Stores — Specifies the alert monitors all stores for which you have access. Your security access determines your available selections, and your ability to define stores to monitor on alerts. Reporting Alerts for Multiple Stores You can send the same alert to all stores, or create a separate alert for each individual store. Create a single alert for all stores — Creates a single alert for all stores monitored by the alert. For example, you create an alert that monitors your buffalo wing sales in a region. Your region has a goal to sell $8,000 for the week. Create an alert to notify you at the end of each day if the entire region has not sold at least $1,200 in buffalo wings. This alert does not monitor each individual store, it monitors the entire region. Create a separate alert for each store — Creates a different alert for each store monitored by the alert. ‘Create a separate...’ is the default selection. When you select this option, subscribers receive multiple alerts, one for each store monitored. Using the buffalo wing example, you have six stores in your region and your goal is to sell $8000 a week in buffalo wings. Create an alert when a store does not sell at least $200 a day in buffalo wings. You can monitor which store is not selling enough buffalo wings. If you change the ‘Create a Single Alert for all Stores’ condition to the ‘Create a Separate Alert for each Store’ condition, you must change the %AllStores% keyword to the %InsightStoreName% and/or %InsightStoreID% keyword(s)on the Custom Alert Message screen. If you change the ‘Create a Separate Alert for each Store’ condition to the ‘Create a Single Alert for all Stores’ condition, you must delete the %InsightStoreName% and/or %InsightStoreID% keyword(s) and insert the %AllStores% keyword on the Custom Alert Message screen. After defining the stores to monitor, continue to the Subscribers tab.
