- Select a Device from the list that you want to configure an alert for.
- Expand the Alerts Panel if it is not already.
- Click the edit button beside the alert type you intend to configure, this will expand the “Edit Alert” form.
- Adjust the alert settings accordingly, checking the “Show Advanced Options” box will reveal additional options.
- Click on the “Submit” button to save any changes.
