Audit Alert Expressions



This article explains the ability to customize when an Audit Alert is sent.

Purpose of Expressions

When TimeIPS processes audits, it will look for any alerts to trigger. With expressions you can apply custom logic for if the alert should be sent. 

Defining Payroll Items With Expressions

To use custom logic you must define the expression in the "Expression" field for that Audit Alert. Expressions must start with an equals sign '='. They provide a single line of code that is evaluated and returns TRUE or FALSE. 

Supported Functions

Audit Alert expressions utilize the same expression parser as Custom Reports. As such the same functions are available. The list of functions is available at this article.
