 | Utilization percentage | Mandatory | When any of the reservations have a utilization that is less than the target percentage, then the alert notification is sent. | Utilization is less than 95% |
 | Time grain | Mandatory | Choose the time over which reservation utilization value should be averaged. For example, if you choose Last 7-days, then the alert rule evaluates the last 7-day average reservation  utilization of all reservations. **Note**: Last day reservation utilization is subject to change because the usage data refreshes. So, Cost Management relies on the last 7-day or 30-day averaged utilization, which is more accurate. | Last 7-days, Last 30-days|
 | Start on | Mandatory | The start date for the alert rule. | Current or any future date |
-| Sent | Mandatory | Choose the rate at which consecutive alert notifications are sent. For example, assume that you chose the weekly option. If you receive your first alert notification on 2 May, then the next possible notification is sent a week later, which is 9 May. | Daily – If you want everyday notification.<br><br>Weekly – If you want the notifications to be a week apart.<br><br> Monthly – If you want the notifications to be a month apart.|
