Using the alert list in a browser

To create and publish a web-based alert list

1. Create a regular form on one server in your AR System installation where the Mid Tier is also installed.
   For more information, see Creating-forms.
2. Add an alert list field to the form.
   For more information, see Alert-list-table-fields
3. Make this form accessible in a browser through a URL.
   For more information, see URLs-for-opening-forms-and-applications.

To enable a preference server for the Web

1. Make sure that one server in your AR System installation is defined as a preferred server.
   For more information about preferences, see Setting-user-preferences.
2. Under General Settings in the Mid Tier Configuration Tool, enter the name of the preference server used by alert system users.
   For more information, see Configuring-general-Mid-Tier-settings.

To configure user preference values for alerts on the Web

1. Open the AR System User Preference form in a browser.
2. For each user, set the following preferences:
   These preferences are available on the Web view or on the Web tab of the Default Administrator view of this form. For more information, see Setting-user-preferences.
   1. In the Alert Servers field, enter the name of each server, separated by commas, from which users receive alerts.
      Alerts from these servers are visible in the Web-based alert list. Users do not need to be logged in to these servers to receive alerts or to display the originating request.
   2. In the Refresh Interval field, enter the number of minutes between each automatic refresh of the alert list.
      A setting of 0 indicates a no-refresh interval.
      Each server specified under Alert Servers is queried for new alerts, and these alerts are displayed in the Web-based alert list.
