Configuring the basic details

Step 1 of setting up alerts is entering the basic details of the group and the form with which we will be configuring the alarm.

Add Basic Details for an Alarm

This is the Steps screen from the last step. Let us look at the fields of Step 1 that is the Basic details.

Field	Description
Group Name*	The name of the group in which the form for which the alert is to be configured is present
Form Name*	The form for which the alert is to be configured

After you've filled the required details, on the bottom right of the screen, click Next. The Step 2 screen, Define communication type is displayed.

Here are a few examples where we can configure alarms/alerts in the workflow that we created:

• Deadlines for taking actions at any step of the workflow

• Reminders for tasks pending actions for a specific time interval
