[ALERTS] How do I setup Alerts?

To set up your alerts, you must first login to your account. Then, do the following.

1. Click on the Alerts tab, where you should see a notice that the Alert System has not been set up. Click the Step 1 button to begin. 2. Select your preferred contact method: by email only, by wireless only, or contact by both email and wireless. Click the Step 2 button to continue. 3. Enter either the email address or your wireless provider, or both if applicable. Click the Step 3 button to continue. 4. If you chose wireless alerts, this step should ask for specific information about your wireless connection. Click the Verify button to continue or see #5 below if you did not choose wireless alerts. 5. You will now be at the verification screen -- make sure that your contact information is correct. When you are satisfied that it is, click the Finalize button to finish the process of setting up contact settings. Note that you can change your contact settings at any time by selecting the Contact Settings sub-tab under the Alerts tab when logged in. 6. Now you are ready to add events. Click on the Add Event sub-tab. This screen is used to add an event to your calendar. You may type in a short message that will appear in the calendar of events, and type in a longer message for yourself; so when you click on the event in the calendar you will see a more detailed note describing the event. You may then choose notification options, and even specify if the event is one-time or recurring. Click on the Add New Event button to add the event. Once added, you can view events that create alerts on the Event Calendar and Upcoming Events sub-tabs of the Alert Tab. Once the event has occurred and the alert has been sent, it will be shown under your 'Event History' sub-tab.

Remember, as with the other utilities in the Member area, that there is a Help icon on the top right corner of most pages you encounter in the process that you can click on for more details.
