How to manage Tacho alerts

Updated by Matt Childs

General notes

  • If the user clicks on the save button, the system is saving all changes (even if changes are in a different alert type / category).
  • All users from the company can see the alert management window
  • About recipients, there is no user management
  • /!\ Important note : The language used for alert notifications is the language used in the UI when the user creates / updates the alert.
    • Example: 
      • My account is in French.
      • I create a new tacho alert
      • The alert will be in French and all recipients will receive the notification in French.
