How to close data collection alerts

The program generates data collection alerts in response to certain occurrences in the data collection process. It creates data collection alerts when an entry recorded on a data sheet line 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, close it before the data sheet can be completed.
