Good and Bad Monitoring

One of the most useful things we did was add a button to every alert we sent that said "Was this alert useful: Yes/No".

We would then send the alert creator reports what percent of recipients said yes. That alone got people to realize that a lot of their alerts were unnecessary and get rid of them. As a bonus, the most useful alerts actually got subscriptions from other people on other teams because it was such a useful indicator.

I wish this was a standard feature. My company is really bad at alerts, I just have rules to send them to the trash. I have my own i

I am going to implement this if I ever design an alert system.
