Common Item and Stimulus Alerts

The Common Item Alerts and Common Stimulus Alerts panels provide information about the alerts that exist for the item or stimulus. These alerts are generated if the item/stimulus has been cloned or has been shared from a different bank and the source item/stimulus has been flagged as being rejected, released, or having other issues.

In addition to being displayed in the Common Item Alerts panel, the alert is also displayed in the Currently Flagged Items table on the Home page and an error message is displayed on top of the View\Edit Item page for that item. You can also generate a Summary Report to determine if flags exist for the items and stimuli included in the report by selecting the CommonBankAlert attribute when setting up the report. For information on how to generate a Summary Report, refer to Print a Summary (Excel) Report.

To acknowledge that you are aware of the existing issue and remove the flag:

  1. Click Acknowledge. A pop-up appears.

  1. Enter a reason or comment pertaining to your acknowledgment and click OK.

    The pop-up closes. The alert is moved from the Currently Flagged Entities table to the Flagged Entity History table on both the View\Edit Item page and the Flagged Entity tab of the Home page. The error message at the top of the View\Edit Item page is also removed.

You can also add a comment for the item by clicking Comment in the common alerts panels or from the Currently Flagged Items table on the Home page. Adding a comment does not remove the flag.
