How do I activate a signal in Apricot?

Overview

Ready for your team to see results? Activating a signal makes its output appear in the doc folder for standard users. Follow these steps.

Step 1: Let your team know

Give users a heads up before you activate, so they aren’t surprised by new cards in their doc folder.

Step 2: Check your factors

Make sure at least one risk factor is toggled on.

Step 3: Turn on the master toggle

Flip the master signal toggle to active (green).

Step 4: Wait for the nightly run

The signal is picked up on the next nightly run. Changes appear in the doc folder the following morning.

Good to know

Until a signal is activated, only administrators can see it.

If you don’t see cards in the doc folder, see Early Intervention Signals FAQs.
