Which statement best describes alerts in the system?

• A. non client specific
• B. system-wide
• C. client-specific
• D. time-based

Answer: (C)

Alerts are notifications tied to an individual client’s activity. Because they are linked to a specific client’s data and preferences, they are configured per client rather than applying to everyone in the system. This makes them client-specific. They wouldn’t be described as system-wide, which would affect all clients, nor as non client-specific. Time-based describes when an alert fires, not who it concerns, so it’s not the defining trait. In practice, you’d set an alert for a client when their balance falls below a threshold or a transaction occurs, while other clients have their own separate settings.
