Alert History

The Alert History screen is a listing of alert actions that have been executed, and their status, if any.  Every alert action, including wait and repeat, gets logged into history. If the action was an email, the email message gets saved. If the alert was an email requiring an acknowledgement, it will get logged with the status of acknowledged or waiting for acknowledgement. By clicking on one of the entries, you get a pop-up the more detailed information regarding the alert, such as when and who acknowledged an email action.
