Use this screen to review the alerts for GPS-tracked equipment. Alerts are set up in Alert Escalation Maintenance.
Click a link to advance to that section of the topic.
When you enter this program directly from the Additional Operations menu, it displays alerts for all tracked equipment, but you can narrow the list by date range or by using any of the filters above the columns for the list. When you enter this program by entering a 2 in Option field for a particular piece of equipment in the Equipment Tracking program, it displays alerts only for that piece of equipment. However, you can enter a different equipment number to view, and you can narrow the list by date range.
In either case, enter a 5 in the Option field for any alert record to advance to the Alert Detail screen.
