The Alerts table

Each row in the Alerts table represents a received alert. Having a hyperlink on an alert means that you can view extra information on it. If you click the alert subject, you can view the alert body. If you click on the alert source, and you have a Process Diagrams view already wired to the Alerts view, the relevant process diagram of the process opens. If you click on the alert source, and have a Active Instances view already wired to the Alerts view, you can view the process details.
