*Building - Whole building consumption
* Source - A specific source
* Meter - An individual meter
* Tenant - A specific tenant’s consumption according to your building’s Tenant Billing configuration

Time Frame. You can set an alert to be active for:
* Anytime
* Schedule - A specific calendar and category in your property's schedule.

Set your "Whenever" values, which are the values that will cause your alert to fire. You can select either:
A percent away from average.
A specific value
A value outside of your Predicted Energy Curve
Don't forget to check out the alert preview to add more context about when your alert will trigger. The red shading shows whenever the alert will go off, if consumption occurs during that section, that means the alert would have sent you a notification.
