These alerts can be interacted with no differently than when found in other locations within the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an alert is preventing a station from the ability to manual water, the \u201cSTART\u201d button will be grayed out and the Timer button will display an icon that represents the alert type that is present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: System and Controller level alerts will not be shown on individual station\u2019s settings\/programming pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-program\">Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Program Tab \u2013 Has received an update and will now show an overview of the Program found under the new Program Overview page button. Specifics about the selected program and what stations make up that program will be found. Stations in red indicate an alert is associated with that station and it will be skipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, if any alerts are affecting the ability of the Program to operate, that will be displayed. If a Program cannot be operated, the alert will prevent selection, however, if the Program contains Stations that have an alert, an Alert marker will be displayed, yet the Program can still be selected and run. The Stations with the alerts will be skipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-single-site-experience\"><strong>Single Site Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the ones that only manage a single Site, there is a new view that makes the app experience better.
