This topic is an example of the steps you perform to set up the HRMS Alert - Cost Center Listing by Manager.

   To set up the HRMS Alert - Cost Center Listing by Manager:

1. Query the HRMS Alert - Cost Center Listing by Manager in the Alerts window.

2. Choose Tools in the menu, and select the Transfer Alert option to copy the alert.

   See: Transferring Alert Definitions in the Oracle Alert's User Guide for more information on copying an alert.

3. Ensure you rename the alert and choose the same database in the Destination Alert region of the Transfer Alert Definition window.

   Note: It is important to rename your alerts and to save them to the same database. This ensures that any changes you make to the alert are specific to your alert and not the predefined alert.

4. Choose the Transfer button, close the Transfer Alert Definitions window and query your copied alert.

5. Check the Enabled button to enable your alert.

   You can check your periodic alerts regardless of the frequency you define. See: Checking a Periodic Alert in the Oracle Alert's User Guide for information on checking your periodic alerts and their enabled action sets.

6. Set the frequency to On Day of the Month and enter 1 as the day number for the alert to run on the first day of every month.

   See: Creating a Periodic Alert in the Oracle Alert's User Guide for more information on setting up the frequency.

7. Choose the Action Details button to set up the conditions of the alert. The conditions you set up here specify the scope of the alert.

   See: Specifying the Alert Details in the Oracle Alert's User Guide for more information.

8. Enter the business group name in the Value field for the INCLUDE_BUSINESS_GROUP optional condition for which you want the alert to run.

   Warning: You must enter a valid value for the alert to run successfully. For example, if you enter an invalid business group name, the alert will not find any information and an email notification will not be sent.

9. Change the INCLUDE_CONT_FLAG condition to Y in the Value field to include contingent workers in the scope of the alert.

   Warning: The Value field is case sensitive, you must ensure that you enter the value as uppercase.

10. Leave the INCLUDE_ORGANIZATION condition blank in the Value field, as this example wants the alert to include all organizations within the business group in the scope of the alert.

    Note: You can restrict this condition to a specific organization if you enter an organization name.

11. Leave all other conditions with their default values.

    As an additional verification step, you can set the conditions up in the Alert Details window with the same values as in the Action Details window, to test your alert to find out if it returns the number of rows you expect. You use the Run button to test and verify your alert.

    See: Creating a Periodic Alert in the Oracle Alert's User Guide for more information on verifying your alerts.

    This alert now runs on the first day of every month, and sends an email notification to employees and contingent workers if it identifies them as current company cost center managers within the specified business group.
