It is possible to define alerts so that you are notified when someone sends you a message, or posts on the forum. Alerts can be set up for the following events:
| • | Someone sends you a message |
| • | You receive a news item (broadcast from the administrator) |
| • | A new resource has been added to the Knowledge Base |
| • | You have been assigned to a mentor (if you are a mentee) |
| • | You have been assigned a mentee (if you are a mentor) |
| • | Someone responds to a thread you have created on the forum |
| • | Someone responds to a forum thread to which you are subscribed |
You can specify whether to receive an alert immediately when one of the above events occurs, or whether to receive a summary of alerts on a daily or weekly basis. Email alerts are sent to the email defined in the Profile page.
To configure your alerts:
| 1. | Open your own Profile page.
|
| 2. | Click the Settings icon  in the top right of the Profile page, and select Notifications.
|
| 3. | You will see a screen that allows you to edit your alerts:
|
| 4. | For each type of event, you have the following options: |
| ▪ | None - no alert will be sent |
| ▪ | Email - you will be sent an email immediately the event occurs |
| ▪ | Daily Digest - you will be sent a single email once per day, summarising all the events that have occurred since the last email the previous day |
| ▪ | Weekly Digest - you will be sent a single email once per week, summarising all the events that have occurred since the last email the previous week |
Note: Not all options are available for each event type. The notifications edit screen displays only the alerting options that are available.
