Welcome

Alerts are created in FIMS to assist with ongoing management and prompts for action for various areas of concern in FIMS. There are many Alerts that are available and can be created. All Alerts are broken up into three components:

• 1. Alert Rule: what is the Alert for? (eg. MTU Under Reporting)
• 2. Interest Group: which Assets are the Alerts considering? (eg. All Purse Seine Vessels)
• 3. Notification Group: who will be Alerted? (eg. All VMS Staff)
