# Creating Alerts

With the **Alerts** feature, you can set up notifications when business-impacting events occur within your fabric applications. For example, you can set up alerts for high order failure rates, abnormal dips in prices, published SKU counts dropping significantly, or transactional failures.

For an overview of the conceptual topics related to creating an alert, see the [Alerts Overview](/v3/platform/home/alerts/alerts-overview).

## Prerequisites

Ensure that you have **Administrator** privileges in Copilot. For more detailed information on these settings, see [Role-Based Access Control](/v3/platform/settings/rbac/role-based-access-control).

## Create My Own Alert

1. In the left menu, click **Home** > **Alerts**.
   The **Alerts** page is displayed.

2. Click **Create Alert**.
   The **Create alert** page is displayed.

3. Click **Create My Own**.
   The **Alert Details** page is displayed.

4. In the **Alert Name** field, enter a name for the alert.

5. In the **Description** field, enter a description of the alert.

6. In the **Alert trigger conditions** section, configure the following fields as required:
   * **App:** Specifies the application you want to set up the alert for, such as **Orders** or **Inventory**.
   * **Service:** Specifies the feature within the application to set up the alert for, such as **INVOICE** or **INVENTORY\_IMPORTS**.
     The options available in the **Service** field are dependent on the selection you made in the **App** field.
   * **Attributes:** Specifies the characteristics or properties, such as **createdAt** or **statusCode**.
     The options available in the **Attributes** field are dependent on the selection you made in the **Service** field.
   * **Operators:** Specifies an expression to filter data, such as greater than (**GT**) or less than or equal to (**LTE**).
     The options available in the **Operators** field are dependent on the selection you made in the **Attributes** field.
   * **Add Values:** Specifies the states, statuses, or outcomes related to the selections in the App, Service, and Attribute fields, such as **ALLOCATED** or **NOW() - PT4H**.
     The options available in the **Add Values** field are dependent on the selection you made in the **App**, **Service**, and **Attribute** fields.
     For more information on alert trigger conditions, see the [Alerts Overview](/v3/platform/home/alerts/alerts-overview).

7. In the **Look-back period** field, select the frequency you want the system to review and assess data for potential alerts.
   Note: The **Look-back period** field is displayed depending on how you configure the Alert trigger conditions. If you don't see the **Look-back period** field, skip this step.

8. (Optional) To add another trigger condition to this alert, click **Add Condition**, and fill out the fields as required.

9. Enter a value in the **Low Severity**, **Medium Severity**, and **High Severity** fields.
   For more information on setting the severity threshold, see the [Alerts Overview](/v3/platform/home/alerts/alerts-overview).

10. Click **Next**.
    The **Review** page is displayed.

11. To receive email alerts about this event, in the **Alert notification** section, select **Subscribe to this alert**.
    Choosing to receive email alerts will only send an email to the address associated with your fabric account. Other users with shared access to your organization’s fabric account can [subscribe to this alert](/v3/platform/home/alerts/managing-alerts#subscribing-to-an-alert) or view events that triggered this alert on the Alerts page.

12. Click **Save**.

The alert is created. You can access the alert in the **Configured Alerts** tab on the **Alerts** homepage.

### Alert Trigger Conditions Field Descriptions

When you are setting up an alert in Copilot, the values displayed in each field are entirely dependent on previously selected fields. The following table outlines the fields in the Alert trigger conditions section, and their values.
