How to Create a New Ticket Alert (Discussion Board, Work Orders, Support, ARCs, and more)

Managers can now customize messages that will display on each type of ticket in Pilera:  
  1. Activity Logs
  2. Architectural Change Requests
  3. Rule Violations
  4. Support
  5. Tasks
  6. Work Orders
  7. Discussion Board
Residents will be able to see this message when they create a work order, support, discussion board or architectural change request ticket.  Residents will also be able to view the message on rule violations and activity logs if managers have chosen to share the ticket with them.  In addition to the above, Board Members can see the alert/message when they create tasks.  

This feature enables management to reduce inbound phone calls and emails to the office by alerting residents of critical information such as rules to follow or emergency contacts. Take a look at our release notes article for more ideas on how you can use the ticket alerts for your communities or properties. 

In this article, we will review how to create a work order alert.  The following steps can be applied to any type of ticket alert you create.
