| Create Your Search |
|
In the "Save New Alert As" box provide the unique title of what you want your search to be called. You'll need the alert name to change or delete the alert or to view results.
Check the boxes next to the types of DOE Directives documents you are interested in. You may also enter the specific word or phrase you want the Alert to watch for. If you type a word or phrase, you will only receive alerts for documents that contain this word or phrase. Click on "More options..." to enter a specific directive number and check the boxes next to one or more issuing organizations to limit your alerts to only documents from those organizations Every time a new Directives document that matches your profile is posted on the portal, you will receive an email message containing a list of the newest document(s), with title, document number, originating organization, and a short summary. If you are interested in weekly alerts for the DOE Technical Standards or other sources (Section 3 on alerts screen), check the boxes next to the types of documents you are interested in and complete Section 4. In Section 4, enter a word or phrase to receive Alerts for DOE Technical Standards or other sources. This is the criteria you want your alert run against weekly (please realize we have no control of how often these web sites are updated so you may not get an alert every week). Click the submit button. This will complete the alert set up and it will be run with the next weekly batch process. The alert system will archive up to six weeks of alerts notices on your personal alert page. |
