Edit Alerts

Edit alerts to ensure alert details remain accurate and up to date. While you are editing an alert:

  • The alert creation form is locked for other analysts, which allows you to make changes to the alert for a specified time limit. This time limit is configured in Administration > Configuration. For more information, see Configure Alerts Settings.

    Note

    Save your changes before this time limit lapses to ensure your changes are not lost. You will receive a reminder to save your changes.

  • If another analyst is currently editing an alert, the alert is locked, and you will not be able to edit it. This lock indicates the remaining time for the other analyst to complete their edits. After the specified time has lapsed, the alert will be unlocked and ready for you to edit. Additionally, you can view the name of the analyst currently editing the alert, along with the remaining time.

Non-Editable Fields

For published alerts, the following fields are not available for editing:

  • Category

  • Attachments

  • TDL content

  • Threat Assessments

  • Recommended Actions

  • Conference Details

  • Recipients

  • Push Notifications

  • Share Alert with Communities

  • Post to Other Apps

  • Restrictions & Alert Options

Steps

To edit an alert, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Analyst Portal and click Alerts.

  2. Click the vertical ellipsis of an alert you want to edit and click Edit.

  3. Make the required changes to the alert in the available sections. Sections that are disabled are not available for you to make edits. 

    Note

    If the Analyst Groups feature is enabled, you can edit the Analyst Groups and Category fields only if you belong to all the analyst groups that were previously selected for the alert. For more information, see Analyst Groups.

  4. If you are prompted to save changes and continue as a reminder, click OK. 

  5. After updating the details, click Preview. In the confirmation dialog, review the Notify recipients about the alert edit by featuring it at the top of their alert list checkbox using the following information:

    • Select the checkbox to notify recipients about the alert edit by featuring or moving this alert to the top of their alert list.

    • If you clear it, members are not notified, and the alert remains in its original position.

    In both cases, members see an Edited label on the alert, and the alert reflects an Edited Date that reflects your most recent changes. By default, the checkbox is selected.

    Note

    This field is available in Collaborate v3.8.11 (EA) onwards and is only available for alerts in Published status.

  6. After editing a published alert, you can choose to expire or republish it. For draft or reverted alerts, you can save as a draft, submit, expire, or publish. Scheduled alerts can be expired or published, and submitted alerts can be submitted, expired, or published. Any changes you make while editing the alert are recorded in the Audit Logs.
