Accessing Saved Alerts

1. Click Searches in the My dashboard menu on the left and click the Search alerts tab.
   
   
2. Click the icon on the right to open the menu from which you can Edit your alert, run the alert to View the current available results for your search, or Delete the alert.
   

   

• Note: If you delete the search alert on the search alerts tab, the search alert is deleted but the corresponding saved search remains. However, if you un-save the corresponding saved search for your alert, it both un-saves the search and deletes the alert.
3. When editing an alert, make your desired updated to the settings and click Save changes.
   

   

• Note: You can also extend or renew your alert by checking the box under Extend or renew alert. After saving your changes, the alert is extended to run for a year from the date of your edits.
