Understanding the Results of Completed Notifications

Overview

After an AlertFind notification is complete reports are generated that inform you of the results and you would like to know how to interpret them.

Information

A notification is considered complete when AlertFind has successfully sent the notification to all scheduled devices or exhausted the escalation for each user. Once the notification has completed, AlertFind distributes the Notification Reports.

Within the Notification task, notifications to specific devices are deemed to be complete depending on the type of device being contacted:

  • Email: An email notification is complete when the email is sent (delivery cannot be confirmed)
  • Telephone: A telephone notification is complete when AlertFind reaches a person or leaves a voice mail (delivery can be confirmed)
  • SMS: An SMS notification is complete when the device has been reached (delivery can be confirmed)
  • Fax: A fax notification is complete when the device has been reached (delivery can be confirmed)
  • Pager: A pager notification is complete when the device has been reached (delivery can be confirmed)

Notification Reports

Upon completion AlertFind will distribute three CSV-formatted results files via email to a designated individual or distribution list:

  • NotificationResponses.csv

The CSV files emailed are identical to the download reports available on the Sent Notifications page.
