   Alerts, for example, can be generated if an error was encountered when attempting to send an email report after a job or process has completed or if your backup data store connection was interrupted. These alerts can also be viewed from the Alerts widget located on the dashboard or by clicking the Alerts link on the right side of the banner.
   
   Note: Emails will always be sent when the Alerts check box is selected.
