Printing Alerts

There two options available when printing alerts.

  • Individual alert details: The details of an individual alert.
  • Alert panel details: The panel view (as shown on screen) containing multiple alert summaries but no individual alert details.

Both options use the same Print Preview display.

To print individual alert details:
  1. From the alerts panel, double-click on the alert to open the Alert Details dialog.
  2. Click Print to open the Print Preview dialog containing the alert details.
To print alert panel details
  • From the alerts panel, click Print from the Enterprise Console | Home menu ribbon.
