Dear Team and Jim

Thanks for this validation rule type that helps us send alerts above set
thresholds. Am planning to implement it on one of our use case - Maternal
and Neonatal Weekly death reports. Basically I want sms sent to a group of
users whenever a maternal or neonatal death is reported.

First of all the two challenges I have are:

- Sending to users assigned a given user role as opposed to sending to
users in a given group. Its easier to send to a user group as opposed to
the current design that only allows to send to users assigned a given user
role. First of all am not sure what different authorities this role should
have. Secondary in a situation where I have no rights to create a user role
I cant implement this like the case of Uganda national DHIS2.

So I would suggest we either add sending to a user group.

- Ability to localize the alerts to the hierarchy; right now we can only
send alerts to a central team otherwise it creates a lot of noise if we
send to user of lower levels for them to be relevant. A user in districts B
may not be interested in alerts from district C would rather only receive
from his only district. But currently if a user in District B is assigned
the alert role, he/she will receive alerts from all districts.

Regards
