GateWay’s customer access portal

 

Context

Set up your alerts and notifications to control which automated reminders are sent to you and within what time frame. Each user in the customer access portal is able to control their own alerts and notification settings. 

 

You can set up alerts and notifications for the following functions:

  • a report that details a list of your overdue rental contracts
  • a report that details a list of your open rental contracts
  • when a rental contract is almost due
  • if there is an invalid purchase order number on a rental contract

 

Automated reminders and notifications take the form of emails sent to the email address associated with your user account.

Note: Alerts and notifications you set up take effect on the following day.
