Once a channel has been defined as described above, users can choose to redirect alert notifications to the newly added channel using the My Alerts tab on the user’s portal home page. The My Alerts form handler automatically reflects any additional channels that have been configured. The My Alerts form displays each of the alert notifications available to the current user and allows the user to select one or more of the available channels. Typically, the Web channel, which directs alerts to the user’s Web browser using the Alerts Gear, is configurable by the community administrator and not by the user. When the My Alerts form is submitted, the user’s profile is updated to reflect the channel preferences selected.
