Alerts

Introduction​

An alert is a problem with your data that someone needs to look at. Alerts work like small support tickets: an alert stays open until it is closed with a resolution, it is always with someone (your team, OpenDataDSL or a data vendor), and its timeline keeps everything that happened to it, including comments.

The Alerts topic covers alerts in full:
