### 8.6.7. Editing Alert Settings

You can set alerts on objects so that when they are modified in EKM by a user or process, or satisfy another alert condition, you will be notified by email. The email will be sent to the address saved in your user profile (see Setting Your User Profile). The frequency of the alerts or how often the alerts will be sent can be specified in your global Settings (see Setting the Alert Frequency).

The alerts you can set will depend on the type of object that is selected, whether it is under version control, and whether it has a lifecycle associated with it. For folders, you have the added option of setting an alert when contents are added or removed from the folder.

To edit alert settings:

1. Select the objects you want to set alerts for, then select (Edit) > Alert Settings.

   Figure 8.26: Edit Alert Settings Dialog Box

2. In the Edit Alert Settings dialog box, set the desired alerts.

3. Click OK. To change the frequency of alerts, see Setting the Alert Frequency.
