Configure the schedule for an alert or alert template

The Schedule settings specify how long alerts remain active.

  2. In the 
    Schedule
     field, select 
    Activate Recurrence
     if you want to create an alert that will be used more than once. If you select this option, additional fields appear at the bottom of the screen. You will configure them in steps 5 through 7 below.
  3. In the 
    Alert Timings
     section, specify the following values:
    • Start Time
      —By default, this field cannot be edited and displays the text, "Set during alert publishing." However, if the Activate Recurrence checkbox was selected in Step 2, the field displays hour, minute, and AM/PM fields that you can use to set the start time for the alert template.
    • Alert Duration
      —The amount of time the alert should be active. Use the drop-down list to specify whether the time is in minutes, hours, or days.

    Activate Recurrence
     in Step 2, click 
    Save
     to finish creating the alert or alert template. If you

     select  
    Activate Recurrence
    , complete the following additional steps using the Recurrence-related fields on the screen.
  5. In the 
    Recurrence Pattern
     section, use the drop-down list to determine how often you want the alert to recur: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
  6. In the 
    Start Date
     field of the 
    Recurrence Period
     section, do one of the following:
    • Manually enter the day, month, and year that you want the alert to begin, writing the date in 
      MM/DD/YYYY
       format.
    • Click The Calendar button and navigate to and then click the day, month, and year that you want to use.
  7. In the 
    End Date
     field, select one of the following three options:
    • No end date
      —The alert continues to recur until you or someone else manually deletes it, adds an end date to it, or limits the number of occurrences.
    • End after <X> occurrences
      —The alert continues to be sent out at the time interval you specified in Step 5 until it has been sent out the number of times you specify in this field.
    • End by <date>
      —The alert continues to be sent out until the date you select in this field.
