SharePoint Alerts Usage
Add the web part to a SharePoint site page: Virto Alerts and Reminders on a classic page or Virto Alert on a modern page.
Click Add Alert. The Create New Alert panel has four tabs: General, Recipients, Message View and Options.
On General, enter the Title, choose the Web and the List, the Change Type, the Communication Type and the Status.
Change Type sets the action about which the alert will notify. Six actions are available:
- All changes (combines all cases together);
- New items are added;
- Existing items are modified;
- Items are deleted;
- Attachments are added to item;
- Attachments are deleted from item.
Communication Type is SMTP, SMS or Clickatell Sms Gateway; choose the connection in the list next to it. The connections are set up in the web part’s General Settings. If a communication type is not set up, it is displayed as unavailable (grayed out).
Status is Enable or Disable. “Disable” means the created alert will not be sent.
