  1. Log in to Access Medication Management.

  2. From the Home screen, click Admin.

  3. Scroll down and click Settings.

  4. A new box appears on the right. Scroll down and click Notification Rules.

  5. In the Notification Rules tab, click New Rule on the right.

  6. The Rules Wizard box appears:

    • In Step One, select the template under Inventory Level.

    • In Step Two, edit the rule description if needed.

  7. Click Notifications.

    • The Alert Method box appears. Select the checkboxes for the alert methods you want. For example, email or system alert.

    • Click OK.

  8. Click Recipient to choose the users who’ll receive the alerts, then click OK.

  9. Select Low Value and enter the threshold for the alert. For example, enter 7 if you want to be notified when stock reaches seven units.

  10. Leave Use a Severity Level of set to Low.
