How to: Calculate Notifications

An Actionable Insights Notification for a KPI will be created for each alert raised, if the Actionable Insights Notification Rule has been set up to create notifications. The notifications are sent to the responsible users or user groups to inform about the exceptional situation, so that a timely action can be taken.

For more information on how to set up Actionable Insights Notification Rules see How to: Set Up Notification Rules.

To calculate notifications

You can calculate notifications with a Scheduler Job or manually.

To calculate notifications with a Scheduler Job

Click the icon, enter Scheduler Job List, and select the relevant link.
Create a new Scheduler job by clicking the New action, or select an existing job.
In the General FastTab, define the Job ID and Description.
In the Object Setup FastTab, select Codeunit in the Object Type field and assign the Object No. with 10016610 (LSC ACI Notification Mgmt.).
Go to the Schedule Details FastTab, define the date and time for when you would like the job to be executed. This includes Time Units, Time Between Check, Next Check Date, and Next Check Time.
Based on the scheduled date, time, and frequency, the system will calculate the notifications for all KPIs according to their Notification Rules.

To calculate Notifications manually

Click the icon, enter Actionable Insights KPIs, and select the relevant link.
Select an Actionable Insights KPI, and click the Calculate Notifications action.
Alternatively, click the Manage - View action to open the relevant Actionable Insights KPI Card, and click the Calculate Notifications action.
The system will calculate the notifications for the selected KPI according to its Notification Rules.

The notifications will be assigned to the relevant Actionable Insights Users or User Groups as defined in the Notification Rules, and they will appear in the relevant tiles in the Active Notifications or Notification Overview cues in the Action Hub. The notification is delegated to another user, if an active Delegation Rule exists within the delegation period.

For more information on how to set up Delegation Rules, see the To set up Delegation Rules section in How to: Set Up Actionable Insights Users and Groups.
