Edit an import alert

The "Alerts" tab in the "Imports" menu allows you to view the list of import alerts and also to create a new import alert, which allows you to be warned if a file type is not received after a certain period.

Import alerts are to be distinguished from data value alerts presented in the"Alerts" tab and for which you are warned if an energy data criterion is exceeded (example: a gas flow rate in m3/h that exceeds the defined alert threshold). Here, the Import alerts are only related to the non-receipt of the file containing one or more meters in the platform.

To modify an import alert, Click on the "Alerts" tab in the "Import" menu then click on the alert to be modified (Example here with the "Electricity" alert), a window then appears on the right:

Here is the list of attributes of an import alert that can be modified:

• the name of the alert (optional);
• the pattern, which is used to detect via the filename the type of file targeted (the % character placed before a string is used to ignore any character before that string and the % character placed after a string is used to ignore any character placed after it).
• his timezone.
• his activation delay, i.e. the minimum duration for which non-receipt of the desired file type activates the alert and triggers an automatic email to be sent.
• the user recipients of the platform who will be notified by email when the alert is activated.
• the emails of any non-user recipients of the platform who will be notified when the alert is activated.

Once you have completed your changes, click "Save".
