Set Alerts in a Consolidated Group

Create threshold alerts for key KPIs within a consolidated group

This feature is included with Fathom Pro - the plan with access to all of Fathom's features. Companies on Portfolio can be upgraded to Fathom Pro at any time.

Understanding Alerts

Within the Alerts section of consolidated group Settings, you can set alert thresholds for key metrics. The set thresholds represent a critical level which may indicate that the group is experiencing financial stress in the given area.

Example: An alert may trigger when 'Accounts Receivable Days' exceed a specific result, or when the cash held by the business drops below a certain amount.

When an alert is triggered, a notification appears within the KPI Summary and KPI Explorer Analysis tools and Pro reports.

πŸ“Note: Alerts in a consolidated group are not aggregated from the underlying companies; instead, they are set at the group level.


Customise Alerts in a Consolidated Group

Alerts can be set for a selection of key default metrics. You are unable to create or set alerts for custom metrics.
