Getting started with Alerts

Alerts are simple to set up and enable you to remain informed of the information which matters most to you, in real-time. Alerts operate across a variety of areas, including Vehicles and Resources, Jobs and Web Users, and can be created for either a single or regular occurrence, helping you to be more proactive in your business.

Getting Started

• Alerts are set up and held in Alerts in the top menu.

• You will see three different areas relating to Alerts:
  1. 'Create a new Alert'
  2. 'Alerts Raised'
  3. 'Alerts Programmed'.

White Labelling

Before setting up alerts, you must ensure that your White Labelling has been set up correctly.

Setting Up White Labelling

• Navigate to:
  1. [Top menu] Account settings (icon)
  2. Settings.

• Scroll down until you find the White Labelling section and then enter the appropriate details.

• After entering your details (you may need to hit the enter key on your keyboard), you will see 'Saved!' appear in green text next to the information, indicating that the details have been auto-saved.
• A button will also have appeared asking you to confirm your email address.
• Select the 'Confirm your email address' button and a new popup message will appear.

• You will then receive an email from Amazon Web Services (AWS) asking you to verify your email address. You must select the link within 24 hours to complete the setup process.

• Once you select the link, you will be taken to the AWS website and receive a message confirming that your White Labelling has been successfully set up.
