Recommended Alerts

Keeper's Advanced Reporting System provides built-in Alerting capabilities that will notify users and Administrators for important events.  As a best practice, Keeper has created a list of recommended alerts that can be configured by the Keeper Administrator.
To create an alert, login to the Admin Console and visit Reporting & Alerts > Alerts.
Alerts is only available to customers who subscribe to Advanced Reporting & Alerts module.  To upgrade, please contact your Keeper customer success representative.
