Set Up New Alert

1 min read

To set up a new alert, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Antenna icon located in the header. This will open the Alerts System window.
  2. Click on the Set Up New Alert button.
  3. Choose the type of alert you want to create:
    • iMAD (Iterative Multivariate Alteration Detection)
    • Segmentation
    • Insight-Based
  4. Complete the required fields and select the necessary options as specified below.

1. Scope Setup #

For all alert types, you must first define the Area of Interest (AOI) that you want to monitor.

2. Configuration #

  • For iMAD and Segmentation Alerts:
    • Choose the frequency of monitoring (how often the system will run the alert check).
  • For Insight-Based Alerts:
    • Choose the frequency of monitoring.
    • Choose the reference period (Defines the baseline timeframe used to gather images for comparison. The platform uses this period to establish what is considered normal).
    • Set the tolerance margin (acceptable variation before triggering an alert).
      • Percentage: The system will trigger an alert when the change exceeds or falls below the selected percentage compared to the reference period
      • Absolute Margin: A fixed value that triggers the alert when the insight surpasses (or falls below) a specific level. The reference period is still required, as the threshold does not affect areas already above or below that value.
    • Define the tolerance condition (threshold criteria for generating alerts).

3. Details #

For all alert types, finalize the setup by specifying:

  • Notification Type: Choose between push notifications (they appear on your account) or email alerts.
  • Alert Name: Provide a name for easy identification.
  • Description (Optional): Add any additional details to clarify the alert’s purpose.

Once all details are configured, confirm the setup to activate your alert.
