Set Up Record Alert Categories
Use categories to organize Record Alerts by priority, severity, or type when they appear for the user.
For example, create a category called High Priority. When you create Record Alerts on a person account and add them to the High Priority record alert category, they’re organized together. Record alert categories are recommended for keeping alerts organized, but they're not required.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, find and select Record Alert Category.
-
Click New Record Alert Category and enter a Label.
For example, enter High Priority.
- Specify an API Name, if the automatic value isn't right for you, and enter a Description if needed.
-
Select a Severity level and save your changes.
When a user creates a record alert and selects an alert category, the severity value in the alert category is the default value, but the user can change it.
