The option is available only to the logged-in user. He can create an alert for any query. Creating an alert allows you to periodically receive a report indicating whether there are new records that meet the conditions of the query.
For example, if we want to observe whether new publications by a particular author or publications on a particular topic appear in the Knowledge Base, we formulate a query and create an alert for that query.
The alert can be set from:
search screen
.
search results
.
After clicking the "bell" icon, complete the fields in the form and click Save.
The user can define the following alert parameters:
name - choose a name that, with more alerts, will distinguish what the alert is about
frequency of receiving messages
Mail and/or on-screen notification function
set/remove activity flag
Check whether the alert has been saved. Alerts are available in the Settings option.
Icons appear next to each displayed alert to perform searches stored in the alert, edit to change parameters and delete the alert.
Once the alert is saved, the system sends information about new objects at a preset frequency. The user can receive this information by mail (if he has selected this option) or to his account in the system. The "system" mail directed to the logged-in user is available under the bell icon, visible only to the logged-in user, on the menu bar on the right side of the screen.
