We have some concerns around producing our own custom alerts. 

Firstly these will need support and the the alert process is perhaps more complex than mere CARla queries. We have seen that many custom alerts are modified versions of standard alerts. However, any maintenance applied to the base alert would likely also need to be applied to the custom alert based on it. This can be tricky.

Secondly, we wonder if there is any store where proven custom alerts can be made public; thus avoiding re-inventing something someone else has done. 

What do others think?

Hi Lennie,

I understand your first point.  Perhaps someone on here with experience in this area can give some suggestions.  I don't think there is a place to store alerts that people create.  We have looked at this concept for other things but it is very difficult, especially from the legal side.  I'd be interested to hear what others think as well.
