Notice Management

The Notice Management function allows the user to process informational, warning, and error notices via the Umler web interface. Each company’s administrator defines how the Umler should inform the user’s company (e.g. tickler preferences). Regardless of those preferences, the user can manage the notices within Umler. Umler allows the user to search for notices based on detailed search criteria, view notice details, fix errors related to notices, and suppress read, resolved, or unwanted notices.

To manage notices:

1. Select Maintenance>Notice Management. The Search Notices page is displayed
(Exhibit 183).

*Notice Type	Select the Notice Type. Multiple selections are allowed. The default is ALL.
*Notice Level	Select the Notice Level of Error, Information, and Warning. Multiple selection is allowed. The default is ALL. · Error—notices which have failed to pass business rules. Because of these errors, the related transactions have failed to update the Umler database. The system creates an error notice when the user submits a pool or equipment transaction that violates the business or security rules. · Information—notices which inform user of system processes. For example, an information notice is created to inform user of the completion of a bulk upload. The system creates informational notices for company-specific events. · Warning—The system creates a warning notice to warn about company-specific events. For example, the system will warn a company prior to deleting one of its idle pool headers.
*Notice Status	Select the Notice Status of Active (default), Deleted, or Both. Note: Notices are not deleted, rather their status is just changed to “deleted”. When the issue mentioned in the notice has been successfully resolved the status changes to “deleted”.
*Notice Group	Select the Notice Group of Normal (default), Future Effective, or Conflict. Note: Unresolved conflicts can result in Umler enforcing AAR business rules against the equipment. Refer to the Umler Data Specification Manual for information about these rules and conflict resolution.
