timecard exceptions– Request Manager Alert — Lists the number of pending requests

generated from Request Manager– Time-Off Request Alert — Lists the number of weeks for which there

are time-off requests– Metrics Alert — Lists the number of times that a defined productivity

metrics target has not been met– Schedule Alert — Lists the number of open shifts for the pre-defined

time period
