COR•REC Alert Item Service Documentation

Alerts are combined into a single display on the Action Card during startup. Each alert can either contain a specific action or serve as a simple notification. This service enables plugins to add alerts to the startup alert display. Each alert is represented by a record that remains active until the user decides it is no longer needed. Each alert item is associated with a single action.

The collaborator method return value may be a Boolean or null anything else is ignored. The Boolean condition true = delete alert, false = remove alert.
HANDLER_MAP	Map is included as the map parameter used in a collaborator call when a HANDLER is designated.
