Alert Preference Settings in FileHold Desktop Application

You can set alert preferences so that you are notified when a change occurs to a document, folder, or reminders. You can view alerts in My FileHold > Document Alerts or Document Reminders and/or receive an email alert, if you system has been configured. In order to receive an alert, you must have set an alert on a document or folder.

The alert preferences allow you to determine which type of change you want to be notified of, such as a document addition, change to metadata, when a file is checked in, and reminder notification settings. When sending the email for a document reminder or alert is activated, you can set the email frequency to send immediately or send a daily summary.
