Alert

An Alert is a structured container that groups a status, a topic, and a communication thread. It is used to track and discuss any situation that requires formal follow-up.

Option required

Alerts are only available if the ALERT option is enabled on the project, which itself requires COMMUNICATION and ACTIVITY to be enabled.

Purpose

An alert can be created at any time, by any user with the appropriate rights, and for any reason. It is not tied to a specific movement. It provides a formal, trackable way to manage an ongoing situation.

Status

Status	Description
IN_PROGRESS	The alert is open and being actively monitored
RESOLVED	The situation has been resolved
CANCELLED	The alert has been closed without resolution

Communication thread

The alert contains a series of messages that form its communication thread. When writing a message, the user selects a * sender*:

Sender option	Description
The user themselves (default)	The message is sent on behalf of the logged-in user
An outside activity	The message is sent on behalf of any group currently out on an activity (any movement of type OUT with an activity attached)

This makes it possible to simulate exchanges between on-site staff and groups in the field.

Relationship to movements and activities

An alert does not require a specific movement to exist. However, its communication thread can reference any activity that currently has an active outside movement. As groups return (via an IN movement), their activity is no longer available as a sender.
