Keyword Alerts Tab

Use this section to have MIP monitor Closed Captioning for specific words and generated a notification email. The channel dashboard works much like other MIP section to restrict the display to specific alerts.

Search

The search field works much the same as in other MIP applications. You are able to search by keyword, Alert type, time, email recipients and channel.

Alert Controls

The ribbon at the top of the page gives you control over the alert feature. Pressing <Add> opens another page giving you complete control over how MIP treats a fault condition and who is notified. The <Enable> and <Disable> buttons allows you to selectively enable or disable each alert. Lastly the <Customize> button controls which alert fields are displayed. Use the pulldown to select which alert columns you want MIP to display.

Create a Keyword Alert

Pressing the new alert icon opens a new page composed of three sections.

The left hand pane allows you to set which email addresses MIP uses to send out the alert and define the alert name and email subject line.

Below that are options to limit how often and when to send the alert.

The middle pane is used to specify keywords. Each time you enter a keyword the system automatically generates another text box to enter an additional keyword. If you enter multiple keywords MIP will return an alert if any match the closed captioned text.

Lastly the right hand pane allows you to select the channel or channels you want to monitor. Typing all or part of the channel name into the Filter text box at the top of the display list restricts the display to matching channels.

Press <Save Changes> at the bottom of the page to add an alert.
