Edit 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. You can update the details of the previously created shipment alert when you need to change the basic information or its mail settings.

To edit 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.
