Create a PAR Level alert rule

A PAR Level alert rule triggers an alert when a monitored asset type's count in a location reaches its Warning or Critical PAR level. Use it to prompt replenishment before a location runs short of the equipment staff depend on.

Before you begin

  • You are assigned the Asset Tracker Administrator role.
  • PAR Levels are configured for the asset types and locations you want to monitor. See Track and monitor PAR Levels.
  • The assets or asset types you want to monitor exist in Asset Tracker.

Create the rule

  1. From your Kontakt.io Launchpad, select Asset Tracker.
  2. Go to Settings > Alert Rules.
  3. Select Create Alert Rule, then select PAR Levels.
  4. On Step 1 General, enter a Name and select a Severity. The rule is active by default; to save it without triggering alerts yet, clear Activate Alert Rule.
  5. On Step 2 Applies To, select the specific assets, asset types, or Groups the rule monitors.
  6. On Step 3 Condition, select the PAR level that triggers the alert—Warning or Critical.
  7. On Step 4 Actions, select who is notified and how—email, SMS text, or Webhook.
  8. On Step 5 Summary, review the settings and select Save.

Result

The rule appears in Settings > Alert Rules. While it is active, an alert triggers and notifies your chosen recipients whenever a monitored asset type reaches the PAR level you set in a location. To pause or change it later, see Manage Alert Rules.
