# Alerts

Alerts can be setup on targets and thresholds to indicate if the data has met the set target or not. When a target and threshold is created, Infoveave automatically creates 1 target alert and 3 threshold alerts on each of them. These alerts can be provided meaningful names and configured to appear on the user’s device to indicate if the desired target has been achieved or not. You can also trigger a subsequent action based on the alert.

**Edit the Alert status** Click the pencil icon <i class="fa-duotone fa-regular fa-pen"></i> next to an Alert name to select whether the Alert is **verified** or **not verified**.

**Categorize the Alerts** Assign specific **domains**, **tiers**, **tags**, and **glossary** terms to organize and classify the Alerts effectively.

**Manage the Sharing status** View whether an Alert is **shared** or **not shared** to manage access permissions.

**Track Alert Updates** View details such as **created by** and **updated by**, along with the respective dates. This ensures transparency and enables version tracking.

**Edit the Description** You can either manually **edit** the description of an Alert or generate it automatically using **AI**. This helps streamline content creation.

The **Alert Information** section provides essential details about the Alerts configured within the system. This section includes the following key elements.

 **Datasource** specifies the Datasource associated with the Alert, such as "Microsoft Sales", indicating where the Alert is triggered from.

 **Alert Message** is a custom message that appears when the Alert is triggered.

The section also outlines the following rule attributes associated with the Alert.

 **Alert Rule Type** specifies the type of rule applied to trigger the Alert. In this case, it is a Measure, which means the Alert is based on a numerical value or metric.

 **Relational Operator** defines the condition under which the Alert is triggered. This means the Alert will fire when the revenue is greater than the expected value.

In the **Documents** section, you can upload relevant files that assist in creating a more accurate description of the Alerts using AI. These documents provide context and enrich the AI’s understanding, helping it generate better descriptions. This is particularly useful for data that requires detailed and nuanced explanations.
