Alerts - email and real time alerts
 
  Overview You can set up alerts to suit the way you want to work. You can use a combination of email notifcations and instant messages. You automatically get alerts for every item you create, those you subscribe to and those classes of information you are watching; these are your interests.
     
Email As someone modifies or creates one of your interests you will receive an email within the minute. It outlines the key information you'll want about the item.
       
Real Time If you have the real time alerts running you will receive a message and/or popup and sound to notify you the instant anything of interest to you occurs. The alert shows the basic details and contains a link to the item of interest.  
       
Configuration You can change your alert preference via your user details page.
