My Alerts & History
The My Alerts & History features provide two locations from which you can manage all of your past research activities, including search history (Recent Searches, Recent Documents, Saved Searches) and searches you've chosen to save for future use (Saved Searches and Alerts).
What is the History feature?
You may access your search history by selecting History from the user drop-down menu in the global navigation header.
The History feature automatically archives searches that you have recently run or documents that you have recently viewed. You may access your search history by clicking on the My Research tab, then the History subtab.
Documents and searches you have run on gateways, such as Dun & Bradstreet, are not recorded in the History tab.
What are Saved Searches?
When your search retrieves results that you would like to update periodically, you may save the search and run it manually later. Saved Searches remain until you delete them.
What are Alerts?
An Alert is a search you save to run automatically at intervals you specify.
To view your current list of Search Alerts and Current Awareness Updates, select My Alerts from the user drop-down menu in the global navigation header.
When you run a search that retrieves results that you would like to update periodically, you may save the search as an Alert. If no results are retrieved for a search, you may save it as an Alert for future updates. To see a list of your Alerts, click on the My Research tab, then click on the Alerts subtab.
What are Shared Alerts?
Your administrator creates alerts in LexisNexis® Publisher to keep you up to date on topics that are important to you. You may not edit the settings of these alerts as you can with an alert that you set up yourself.
