Publish an alert from an existing alert template

Important: Before you create and publish a new alert, go to the BlackBerry AtHoc home page and check the list of all alerts that are currently live, scheduled, recurring, or require approval in the system. This will help you avoid creating a duplicate alert.

  2. In the navigation bar, click Alerts > New Alert.
  3. On the Select from Alert Templates screen, hover your cursor over an alert template name to view details about an alert template.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Quick Publish: In the Ready to Publish column, click Publish... beside an alert template.
    • Modify and publish: To modify the contents of any alert template, click Edit. On the alert details page, review and update the alert content. Click Review and Publish.
    • Approve and publish: To send an alert that requires approval, click Edit. Update the alert content and add target approvers. Click Review. For more information, see Publish an alert that requires approval.
  5. Optionally, on the Review and Publish screen, do any of the following:
    • In the Content section, click The Edit icon to edit the Title or Body text. For more information, see Quick publish an alert
    • Click Export to PDF to export the content of the alert template to a PDF file. For more information, see Export an alert as a PDF.
