Alert Manager Description
The Alert Manager is located in your HData toolbox. It allows you to easily and proactively monitor FERC Filings and Dockets. Setting up custom Alerts on individual companies and keywords or phrases will produce in-app and email notifications when documents with matching content are found.
Use Case Overview
Use the Alert Manager to monitor FERC Filings and Dockets for mentions of companies or topics of interest. You’ll receive notifications when filings and dockets relevant to the criteria you’ve selected are filed and reviewed by the HData Alert Management System.
You can use broad search terms like “return on equity” to get ongoing notifications anytime that phrase appears in a FERC form or docket. You can also include more specific phrases to narrow your results.
Monitoring and alerts of any future FERC forms or dockets begins as soon as you save your Alert.
Users can create Alerts in the Alert Manager. Alert messages received are managed from the Inbox, accessible from the notifications bell in the upper right corner of the HData Platform.
Getting Started - Creating Alerts
To access Alert Manager, log into HData.
Open Toolbox from the list of products on the left-hand side of the HData home screen.
Under “My Tools”, select “Alert Manager”, this will take you to your list of alerts. Note that if you have not yet created any alerts, this page will be blank.
In the Alert Manager tool, click the megaphone icon in the upper-right corner:
This will open up a the Alert configuration window.
In the open text box, create a name for the new alert: 
Select which companies you want to monitor:
Type in the exact words or phrases (keywords) you want the alert to notify you about and hit enter or click on the white arrow to the right:
Select the Data Sources that should be searched for your keywords:
Select whether you’d like in-app notifications, email notifications, or both. Provide at least one email where notifications should be sent. Finally, select the frequency with which notifications should be delivered.

Editing, Deleting, and Testing Alerts
In the Alert Manager tool, select the name of the alert you’d like to edit, delete, or test. This will open an editing menu for that alert.

Or test the alert by clicking the email icon in the upper right corner: 
Clicking the email icon to test an alert will send an email to the listed recipients with a sample alert based on your selected criteria. Note: It will not contain links to valid fildings, since this is just a test and not truly alerting on a FERC Form or Docket.
