Creating Alerts

Creating Alerts in Synergetic is a way of communicating important messages to staff about their students. 

The following instructions do not include other alert-types such as Medical, Boarding, Diverse Learners and Legal Alerts.

To create an Alert in Synergetic

Open Current Student Maintenance and select the Student profile

1. On the Alerts tab click the Add button
   
   
   
2. Enter a Category
   Court Order is presently the only option, if you require a new Category please send a request to synergetic@stcuthberts.school.nz 
   
   
   
3. Enter a From Date 
   
   
   
   
4. Enter a To Date
   
   
   
   • It is possible to create an Alert without a From Date and To Date, however
     • Entering dates will ensure that the Alert will start and stop in the appropriate time-frame
     • For persistent Alerts such as Court Orders, set a To Date in December of the year that matches the students final expected year (eg., will be Year 13)
       
       
5. Enter the Message field, click OK to save.
   
   
   
   • Include an action: eg., " ... if seen on campus, contact [the Principal] immediately"
