Setting Alert Methods

Note:  Only alert methods that are activated using the steps outlined below will be used when deploying alert messages to recipients, regardless of the alert message text that is created on the Add Alert/ Edit Alert screen. For example, if you create an SMS Text message for the Counter Part Order alert type, unless you activate the SMS Text switch for the Counter Part Order alert on the Alert Methods screen, no SMS alerts will be sent to the recipients.
