Key Performance Indicator Alerts 
You can define KPI alert messages that automatically send an e-mail triggered by a defined event.
You can have up to three separate criteria for the alert. You must set up at least one criterion, and you may append up to two more with Boolean operations to create a combined alert. You can elect to receive alerts via the following methods:
Instant messenger

You can choose to have the system alert you via e-mail or instant messaging (or both) if any of your alerts are triggered.
