When a user has multiple alerts, the application does show two separate alert icons (or more, if applicable -- I believe, we've never had more than two alert icons on a single client for a single punch set) but they are both the same color blue, so at a quick glance the user is not able to determine too much information from the screen.
Operating under the mindset that time is of the essence and user actions need to be prioritized as best as possible by the data they can view at a glance, can the opportunity for something along the lines of the following exist?
Example of ideal presentation for an employee with 2 alerts for the same punch set where on is an OT/Max Hours alert and the other is a Paid Break alert attached for reference/illustrative purposes.
Thank you!
I love this idea. Our clients who use Alerts for more complex tracking don't like that they need to put their mouse over the alert to diagnosis what it is related to. By color coding the alerts, they would at least know why the alert is showing, and then they could read the accompanying message as needed.
I might suggest simplifying Rich's suggestion on the scripting, and maybe making 6-8 different colors available, and then having addalert accept to arguments.
ie addalert("Employee took long lunch" , 1); where 1 = Red, 2 = Green, 3 = Yellow, 4 = Orange, etc.
