Sub Alerts

In LightBeam Playbooks Alerts 2.0, 'Sub Alerts' have been introduced to provide users with more granular control over alert management. Sub Alerts are individual instances of objects that have been impacted by an alert.

When an alert is triggered, it typically affects multiple objects within a data source. Each of these affected objects is now represented as a sub alert, allowing users to take actions on specific objects within an alert, rather than being limited to managing the alert as a whole.

Viewing Sub Alerts

When you navigate to an alert's details page, you will find a table called 'Objects Impacted.' Each row in this table represents a sub alert, providing information such as Object Name, No. of Attributes, Entities, Classification, Assignee, and Object Owner. This table gives you a clear overview of all the objects impacted by the alert.
