Function documentationGlobal and User-Specific Alert Status

 

The status of an alert shows you the processing status, gives you a better overview in the Alert Monitor, and simplifies cooperation between several processors.

The Alert Monitor contains the following fixed pre-defined alert statuses:

  • AK - Take Note of Alerts

  • FW - Alert Forwarded

  • HD - Alert Hidden

In Customizing, you can define additional alert statuses. You can also restrict these additionally defined alert statuses to specific alert object types in Customizing.

In Customizing, you can also specify whether an alert status is visible for all users (global alert status) or only for a specific user (user-specific alert status).
