Our new Alerts module lets you subscribe and unsubscribe to alerts through the application, allowing you as a user to service your own needs regarding alerts.
Every VMS user can now subscribe to email alerts. These alerts can notify you when a particular event occurs in the system. Currently, there are only three available alerts in the system, but more will be added shortly.
For example, if you subscribe to the "Bunker Delivery Date updated" alert, you will be notified per email every time a bunker delivery date is updated. The email will contain information about the Bunker in question. An example can be seen below:

When you open the module, a list of available alerts is shown:

Accessing Alerts from VMS
Alerts is a module in VMS, and you can open the module by pressing Modules → Alerts → Alerts, like so:
Mobile and Web Browsers
The Alerts Module supports use in the web browser, and also on tablets and mobile devices (via their browsers). This lets you easily manage your alert subscriptions from anywhere. Using the module this way requires no additional setup, you are just required to log in to the web app (using your VMS credentials), and you can start using it.
