The Alerts tab The Alerts tab is where users with access permission can create and send Overdue Approval alerts to relevant expense report approvers. (Note: Some users will have read-only access to the Alerts tab. Also note that there are default settings in each of the drop-down menus for alerts. The time setting is based on U.S. Eastern Time; a future release will allow you to set your alert time to correspond with your local time zone.) To create an Overdue Approval alert: To remind expense report approvers via email that there are submitted expenses envelopes requiring their approval: 1. Click on the "Alerts" tab. 2. Select "Overdue approval alert" from the "Create..." drop-down menu. 3. The "Overdue approval alert" dialog requires that you select a name for the alert; optional drop-down menus allow you to select the date and time that an alert will get sent out, and allows you to create a rule about how many days an approval is overdue before the alert is sent. 4. Click on "Save." To modify an approval alert: 1. Click on the "Alerts" tab. 2. Click on the name of the alert you want to modify. 3. Make your changes to the alert dialog. 4. Click on "Save." To delete an approval alert: 1. Click on the "Alerts" tab. 2. Click on the name of the alert you want to delete. 3. Click on the "Delete" button.

The alert will not be distributed until you reactivate it.
