We can see that Burger King has plans for Mexico. Looks like they're going to experiment with "restaurants of the future" in Cancun.

I better get this record over to Bev in response to her request.

Once she sees the listings from File 9—Business & Industry—and Dialog Global Reporter (File 20), she may want me to set up a Dialog ALERT for her so she can keep up-to-date on Burger King's activities.

With Dialog's current awareness service, I can get the latest information as soon as the records appear in the database. I could also have Dialog set up Bev's ALERT for me by filling out the Alert Request form. There is no charge to set up the Alert.

See how to set up your own ALERTS in the DialogWeb Guided Search Tutorial.
