Activate/Inactivate shipment alert

A shipment refers to an action of transporting items (drugs) between depots and sites. A shipment alert is a customizable notification mechanism that generates an email to inform relevant parties about the details requested for a shipment when a certain shipment transaction is processed.

The purpose of a shipment alert is to notify the responsible IWRS users about shipment-related transactions promptly. By default, the created shipment alerts are active and start triggering immediately. However, they can be inactivated to postpone or temporarily halt notifications on certain transaction types or to some recipients.

To activate or inactivate a shipment alert

  1. In the IWRS application header, select the ALERT tab.

  2. In the left pane of the page that appears, select Shipment Alert.
