Dialog Profound and Dialog NewsRoom Alerts Enhancements

In response to your suggestions, Dialog is adding several enhancements to streamline Dialog Profound and Dialog NewsRoom Alerts.

New Features

• The user ID that created the Alert will be listed in the e-mail, enabling you to easily identify Alerts going to multiple e-mail addresses.
  
  
• Headlines or Tables of Contents in an e-mail will link to the articles or reports.
  
  
• You will receive a single e-mail for multiple Alerts based on delivery time, reducing the number of Alert e-mails you receive.
  
  
• When setting up a Weekly Alert, you will be able to select the day of the week for the Alert to be delivered.
  
  
• You will also be able to select your Time Zone from within Preferences. When you set up an Alert, the delivery time will be based on your local time zone.

You can receive your Alerts via e-mail or view them by signing on and clicking Recent Alerts, which provides a 48-hour storage area for your most recent Alerts.

Recent Alerts are sorted by Alert Run Date. You can select multiple documents to view and link directly to the Alert archive for an historical view of Alert titles.

For more information on Alerts at sign-on, see "New Features Further Enhance Dialog Profound and Dialog NewsRoom" in the May-June Chronolog.
