Creating Auto Alerts in OvidSP

Creating AutoAlerts

• AutoAlerts are OvidSP's implementation of selective dissemination of information (SDI). Only databases that are AutoAlert enabled display the AutoAlert search type option on the Save Current Search Page. To learn which databases have been enabled at your site, contact your site administrator.

• OvidSP's AutoAlerts lets you:– Receive notification when new records match your search criteria – Receive notification when new records get added to the AutoAlert's

database(s) – Receive notification on a schedule that you define – Remove duplicate records from results of current and historical runs of

an AutoAlert – Suspend AutoAlerts when you take a leave of absence, then unsuspend

them upon your return
