Alert Visual Design Operators

The Visual Designer tab utilizes operators. They function to outline and define the flow of the alerts steps. The are used much like a Visual Flow application, using the drag and drop method for placement and double clicking them for the property attributes. Below is the AlertOperatorTable to display look, properties and function.

Each Alert created must begin with a Start operator and finish with an End operator.

To access the properties of the operators, double click on the operator icon once it is placed in the Visual Designer area.
