An Alert is used to notify the user when a condition has been met. It is commonly used for quality control purposes. For example, Alert me if the number of cells in my gate is less than 250.

 

You can define an essentially unlimited number of alerts. Once you have created your alerts, you can run them (all at once) and any alerts which met your condition(s) will be displayed.

 

Conceptually, Alerts are very similar to custom tokens. An Alert uses a formula, which can contain other tokens. Unlike custom tokens, however, an alert formula must always return

TRUE or FALSE as its result value.
