Our company uses nothing but advanced alerts because it's just easier for us to get all the information we need at that one time. With the inclusion of HTML in the email alerts (which is much easier enabled in 10.1.2) this has gotten even better.
However, I did notice one problem that might be easier to explain with a sample and an image.
The following is an example of a simple alert that we've drafted using the HTML format:
| [Down] BALTEXREST01v (10.5.5.100) | | This alert has been triggered because BALTEXREST01v is Down | | |
| Node | | BALTEXREST01v / 10.5.5.100 | | Machine Type | | Windows 2008 Server | | DNS Name | | baltexrest01v.piper.root.local | | Site | | BALT | | Role(s) | | |
|

For the message to look this pretty, I need to enter all the HTML code on the SAME LINE in the message window. Though it wraps, if I were to put in Carraige Returns, the system automatically replaces Carraige Returns with a <br /> (HTML Manual Line Break).
Feature Request: Please include just a checkbox or something in the Edit E-Mail/Page Action Window's Message Tab to allow me to enable/disable the auto-replacement of a CrLf with a <br />.
