The Alert tab of the Protector module lets you quickly visualize and report the extent of an event,
00:10
as well as sort all affected customers—in order of increasing distance from the event location— for priority notification.
00:20
You can then alert those affected customers and take necessary remedial measures.
00:26
For example, you can list all customers that reside within a mile radius of a contamination event.
00:34
In this example, you create a custom alert to notify specified customers of a water quality issue.
00:42
First, double-click the desired project .aprx file to open ArcGIS Pro.
00:50
Once the project starts, click the InfoWater Pro tab to open the InfoWater Pro ribbon.
00:58
In the Project panel, click Initialize.
01:02
Start by running a simulation for the current scenario.
01:06
On the InfoWater Pro ribbon, in the Analysis panel, click Run to open the Run Manager.
01:14
Click Run to run the simulation and create an output for the current scenario.
01:20
Close the Run Manager.
01:23
You can now access the Protector.
01:26
On the ribbon, in the Project panel, click Apps.
01:31
From the Apps Manager, select Protector, and then click Run to open the Protector app.
01:39
Switch to the Alert tab.
01:42
Click Options.

From the Notification Layer drop-down, select the propuse layer.
01:49
The Propuse layer contains all customer details.
01:53
Close the Protector Options dialog.
01:57
There are different ways to create an Alert Zone.
02:00
For example, you can pick a point on the map, and use X and Y coordinates and a radius to narrow the affected location.
02:10
In this case, you draw a user-defined polygon of the Alert Zone.
02:15
Click Create Polygon Alert Zone.
02:19
In the network map, click to draw points to form a polygon over the right-half of the map.
02:26
Double-click on the last point of the polygon to close it.
02:32
Click Notify.
02:34
All parcels inside the polygon are highlighted in cyan.
02:39
