Alert Code, the Username who assigned the alert and whether to log alerts in history. This field shows all alerts assigned to this record.

The format is as follows:

~ALERTCODE~USERNAME{Tab Character}{Log in History Code}{Line Feed Character} followed by the next alert, if any.

The third parameter is a blank space or ‘0’ if “Log Alert in History” is not selected. If “Log Alert” is selected, this parameter is ‘1’. So a typical Alert record might look like this:

~SH~JOE 0 ~TA~DAVE 1

Note, this identifies two alerts, one for SH and the other for TA. The second alert has been marked to log alerts made in history.
