The Claim Alert is a notification that alerts key personnel of an upcoming claim action on an order. The application sends an email out based on Email Options Setup. Additionally, the alert process attaches a note to the order. Subsequent Claim Alerts will offer the user an option to append to the alert. An email notification will ensue upon each append.
