Alerts

Creating an alert

Go to Advanced search from the main menu and enter your search criteria.

When you finish, at the bottom of the page, click Save as an alert .

If you have already run a search and then want to create an alert for it, use the Create an alert button at the top-right of the results page .

By default, all of these options will create a weekly alert. You can amend this, and create other alerts, in the Manage your alerts menu.

Manage your alerts

To see or change your active alerts, go to the menu in the top right of the page and click Manage your alerts . This will open a list of the alerts you have set up on your account.

Use the Delete button to the right of an alert to remove it.

You may want to change an alert if, for example, your search terms are not finding the best results, or if you are getting too many emails. Simply click the Edit button on the alert you want to alter. This will open a window with all the search terms and filters used to create the alert, which you can then amend. You can also choose how often you want to receive the emails.

When the Always Send option is activated, you will receive an email even if there are no new documents. You can turn this off if you only want to receive an email when there are new documents matching your search. The pause toggle will effectively pause the alert so that you have the option to turn it back on at a later date without having to set the alert up again - useful when you are going out of office and don't wish your inbox to fill up while you are absent. When you reactivate the alert, the next alert email will include all new documents since you reactivated the alert.

Click on Save changes when you have finished editing your alert.
