Creating and managing alerts

Creating a new alert

You can opt-in to receive weekly email updates of new results for each content type of a saved search. The email will list up to 10 new results for each selected content type as well as a link to view the new results in Dimensions. This "Show all new publications/grants, etc." link opens Dimensions with a filter applied which only shows the results added during the last 7 days.

  3. In the application, go to your Favorites page where all alerts can be managed.

Can I get multiple alerts in one email?
