Email-Alerts for imported DICOM files

Aim

This article briefly describes how to configure (add and delete) e-mail alerts for notifications about images imported into a study.

Procedure

Creating a new e-mail alert

Step 1: Go to the menu section “Alerts” (Figure 1).

Step 2: Choose “All Sites” from the drop-down list. It is not possible to configure this alert site-specifically.

Step 3: Click on the blue button “Add alert”.

Step 4: From the dropdown menu choose the alert type “Imported dicom files.”

Step 5: Select who should receive this alert. You can either select from the UNITY Platform users who have access to the study and drag and drop them to add them as “Recipients” or you can “Add an External Recipient” by clicking on the blue button and entering the email address of the person to whom this notification should be sent (Figure 3).

Step 6: Click on “Save” in the lower right corner.

Step 7: If you want to test the alert, you can trigger it by clicking on the turquoise button “Trigger alert” (Figure 4). This will send an email to everybody on the recipients’ list.

The alert email contains a table with the following information (Figure 5):

• Total number of images imported

• Study

• Site

• Patient ID

• Case ID

• Surgery Date

• Examination period

• Image Type

Editing an existing alert

Modifications to the list of recipients can be done by clicking on “Remove” in the field of the user to be deleted (Figure 3) or by adding other recipients as described in Step 5.

Deleting an existing alert

If you want to remove an alert, click on the red button “Remove alert” in the lower right corner.
