Custom Alert

Submitted by pkrecsy on Thu, 05/16/2013 - 2:34pm

Forums:

Does anyone have the instructions on how to add a Custom Alert for a Custom Field. We have students who are dual-enrolled at schools and we would like an Alert so the secretaries can pick them out quickly. In PowerSource it is mentioned in 2 or 3 places that the instructions are on PowerData Solutions but they don't seem to be on the updated PDS site. We are on PowerSchool 7.6.2 and I do my customizations through CPM
Thanks

You're right, I need to re-write the directions. Hopefully soon.

Jason did you ever rewrite the custom alert directions? Do you have anything that talks about how to do it for the PowerTeacher page as well? I found something but I'm not sure it's the latest information. This was the information I found https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7WAFK9AHDmYd091Rnh6dDJFMG8/edit?usp=sh...

It seems I have two sets of directions to make custom alerts. They are both very different. Is there an update anywhere on making a custom alert? This is much needed right now, especially with virtual learning! If anyone has any directions they can post, I would greatly appreciate it!!

I am trying to create a custom alert (IEP) and didn't know if you ever got the directions on how to do this.

Thanks in advance

Ok...so I got the custom alert to show on all student pages. Now the problem is no matter where I click on any student page, the text box with the info for the custom alert shows up!! Basically the whole page is now a custom alert!
Thoughts?

I love it. The only thing that it will not accept dollar sign symbol or the alert icon disappeared. Without ($), the alert icon appear. I wonder why the ($) will not accept. Any idea?

I am trying to set up an alert for one of our parent/guardian forms. Parents sign up on our parent portal and then have 24 hours to pay for the activity that they sign up for. If they do not pay in that time period, they lose "their seat". I want to set an alert so that we know when the 24 hours is up. The report currently shows the time of sign up. Does anyone have a suggestion and/or has done this? Thanks for any thoughts you can share.

I am on PS 10.0.1 and am trying to create a custom alert. Does anyone know if there are directions for this? I have tried several sets of directions that have been posted on different locations for this and must be missing something or they no longer work with version 10.

Can someone send me the instructions on how to create a custom alert? I created one, but it is not completely working. I think I am missing a step somewhere. You can email them to klevitt@nm.k12.in.us.

I am looking for a custom alert to show the Hybrid/Remote learners as well. Anyone have the directions? Can you email me at lemerson@msad37.org if you have an easy to follow set of directions? Thanks!

We are using tracks to identify students in hybrid or remote. The track shows up next to the students name so it functions similarly as an alert.

Is it possible to set security for an alert by group?

PSCB

Tue, 03/15/2022 - 2:04pm

This Custom Alert blog is an old posting that is now longer supported by the original creator.

In answer to your question - yes group security can be set when creating alerts. If you log in to Powerschool Community you will find numerous guides on how to create alerts.
