### Required Setup

For the Partners tab to display heat and health data and generate alerts, DairyComp Unlimited dairies must first configure DairyComp to activate the integration. See [Activate Integration](docId\:Lu-kPHp_1nzP-w5wnmXzB) to learn more.
:::

Animal alerts are generated based on sensor data pulled from the partner system and sent to DairyComp 305 and PULSE every hour. To view animals with alerts, check the [Dashboard Widget](docId:7ZijK4Nse6X10WplEV-lc) and click the animal's Cow Number to view its CowCard.
