Parts of the Alerts Tab Page
The Alerts tab allows easy access to alerts settings for a particular device or set of devices. Device alerts
provide the ability for the device to proactively notify you when a problem occurs with the device.
You can set alerts using the Alerts tab or by selecting Alerts from the menu at the left. Using the Alerts tab
can be faster since you have already selected the device or devices.
The Alerts tab has two possible views:
●
Single device view: The current set of subscribed alerts is displayed. You can subscribe to alerts,
change alert subscriptions, or remove alert subscriptions.
●
Multiple device view: A summary view of how many devices have alerts subscriptions and how many do
not. The same quick access to alerts subscriptions, change alert subscriptions, or remove alert
subscriptions is provided.

Advanced Settings
NOTE: There are two threshold settings that can be set through Advanced Settings; Count threshold
and Percent threshold. When Count threshold is enabled, the Alert will trigger as the increasing device
counter matches the value (number) applied here. This is only visible when Page Count Alerting is
enabled.
Percent threshold supplies a common threshold value (percentage) that can apply to threshold Alerts.
This is a decreasing percentage and is set on an integer value. This is a percentage based on decreasing
supplies. This setting is only applicable to supplies that are depleting or depleted and need replacing.
