How can we help you today?


Alert Manager

The Alert Manager allows you to create alerts for securities that matter to you and your portfolio. They will trigger when they meet specific criteria, notifying you of events, announcements, forecast changes and price movements that may need your immediate attention. This is a great way to keep you informed and in control of your portfolio.

You can access the Alert Manager by clicking on the 'Tools' menu and selecting 'Alert Manager' from the drop-down list.

There is a wide range of alerts to select from that have been sorted into 4 unique categories: Change Alerts, Notification Alerts, Price Alerts and Valuation Alerts

Triggered Alerts

When an alert is triggered, you will notice that the bell to the right of the alert will be displayed in red. This convention is replicated in other program features where the alert status is displayed, E.g. Watchlist and Portfolio Director.

In order to reset the alert and return it to a pending status simply tick the alert and click 'Reset Trigger'.

Navigating the Alert Manager

Given your ability to create as many different types of alerts for one specific company or a large selection of companies, we have created several navigation tools to help you manage the list.

You can either type in the search box a company code, and the list will filter to display that company.

Or alternatively, click on a column heading, and that column will sort the information.

All triggered alerts will automatically appear at the top of the page, giving you quick access to issues that require immediate attention.

Email / Intraday Alerts

Alerts can be set up to be sent via email when they are triggered to help you make more timely and informed investment decisions.

You also have the ability to have the alert set to trigger during the day. Leaving the box unchecked means you only receive alerts at the end of the trading day.

 

Editing/Deleting the Alert

If you wish to edit the alert, you can do so by:

- Clicking on the 'Edit' Button under the last column
(Edit popup box will appear)

Delete Obsolete Alerts

Suppose you haven’t changed any alerts in the last 12 months for stocks not held within a portfolio. In that case, you will periodically receive an obsolete alert notification message at the top of the Alert Manager screen. This will include alerts set for companies that have since been delisted. You can then either act by clicking on the relevant buttons to delete obsolete alerts or simply close the notification.

The 3 options that will be provided are: 

  • Delete alerts for stocks that aren't in either your portfolios or watchlist
  • Delete alerts for stocks that aren't in your portfolios
  • Delete alerts for delisted stocks

Alternatively, you can dismiss the notification by clicking on the (x) in the top right corner.

Important Note About Alerts

To ensure relevancy, keep your alerts up-to-date.

When an alert is triggered, a decision will need to be made. Either reset the trigger, change the alert or delete it altogether. Taking no action will mean the alert will lose all relevance as it will not alert you to any future change.
