Alerts can be displayed when you try to access a borrower or when you try to carry out a transaction for a borrower, for example, issue or renew an item. The alert parameters define the text to be displayed, the staff privilege level required to be able to override an alert, whether an alert blocks transactions in OPAC, etc.
