There is an interactive Quick View available to end users. The Quick View offers various summary portlets that are used as quick references for viewing modules and data in WebChart .

You can select which specific portlets to show on your view. One of the portlets is Alerts.
When logged into WebChart , click on the Quick View sidemenu option.
When in Quick View, default portlets will display, but there is an option to customize the Quick View for yourself if have the appropriate security permissions.
Alerts Portlet
The Alerts portlet of the Quick View shows a summary of each failed module name (what type of job failed), as well as a column of who the failed jobs are designated to. Me means the failed job was something the logged-in user had rendered to send. Everyone means the failed job was something another user in the system rendered to send.
If you do not see the Alerts portlet in the Quick View tab, simply click the Select Portlets and select the Alerts portlet, then save. The selected portlets will display on the Quick View screen ,and you can move them around in the order you wish them to display.

Alerts Notification Toolbar
An Alerts link and a counter are shown on the notification toolbar, so that the logged-in user can quickly see a count of the errors from the Print, Fax, Dicom and DataSend modules, generated for the logged-in user. If the logged-in user’s Show Alerts My Settings preference set to system, then the alert in the notification toolbar will also display a count including any errors system-wide, including the logged-in user’s print or fax or dicom or failed jobs.
Alerts/Errors Dashboard
Clicking the Manage Information icon in the Alerts portlet of the Quick View, or clicking the Alerts link in the notification toolbar at the top, will take you to the Alerts/Errors dashboard to view and work any failed jobs.
The Alerts/Errors dashboard is where you can view the specific failed job details and work any failed jobs, if needed.
Once you are in the Alerts/Errors screen, the alerts will display, based on the preference you have set. If you are set to only show your own alerts/errors, then that is what will display.
Select Portlets
The Alerts portlet is comprised of 4 individual portlets. The 4 individual portlets are Print Alerts, Fax Alerts, AutoSend Item Alerts and DICOM Alerts. Users may arrange the Alerts/Errors dashboard in any order they wish, or remove portlets no longer needed. Simply click the Select Portlets link found in the top-right of the Alerts/Errors dashboard.
Even though you can change the dashboard to display in 2 or more columns, it is recommended you display the dashboard in a one-column format. This allows users to see the entire sections, along with the options in order to work them from this dashboard.

The WebChart system must be set up for auto-routes and auto-send functionality for this portlet to be useful. Options are also available to perform an Acknowledgement, Resend, or Deactivate en masse, if necessary.
- Acknowledge: Clicking this after an autoroute has failed indicates you acknowledge it errored out, removing it from the queue.
- Resend: Clicking this will attempt to resend the failed route.
- Deactivate: Clicking this means that you no longer want the errored route to be sent and wish it to never try sending again.
If you wish to work the data-send/auto-route failures en masse, select each failed route and use the drop-down Select Error Routes to select an option that will be applied to all that were checked.
Clicking the Manage Information icon will take you to the DataSend Queue tab. This is where you can then see the Error Routes category, with specific details of the failed auto-send routes and the specific Route IDs.
There is a Break Sending Lock security option for MIE Help Support. This option is for routes marked as Sending in the DataSend Queue. This feature allows the unlocking of any routes which have been stuck for more than an hour. Users wishing to have this ability will need the Unlock Sending Routes security permission enabled. In the case of a coding error, routes can become stuck in the In Progress status. The Break Sending Lock option allows MIE Help Support, or others with the necessary permissions, to retry these stuck routes without reverting to a backend tool.
Another way to get to the DataSend Queue tab is to click Failed Auto-Send Items when in the Alerts portlet of Quick View. The portlet displays a summary of failed sends, but the failed items in the Alerts portlet provide hyperlinks to take users to the DataSend Queue tab quickly and easily.
