How to: Close Data Collection Alerts

You can generate data collection alerts in response to certain occurrences in the data collection process. Data collection alerts can be created when an entry is recorded on a data sheet line that does not meet a specified target value. Depending on setup, alerts may also be generated if a result is not entered on a data sheet line within a predefined amount of time.

If a data collection alert has been created for a particular data sheet, it must be closed before the data sheet can be completed.

1. In the Search box, enter Open Data Sheets, and then choose the related link.

5. Right-click and choose Card.
