ADDRESS BOOK 

Alerts 

are an important component of managing your assets and to take advantage of 

Alerts 

you first  have 

to do a few things, the most important being to set up your address book. Click on the 

“Address

 

Button”

 

which is circled in blue below: 

 

Then click on the 

“New”

 button 

 

 

Enter the email addresses you anticipate you will use for ALERTS. You can use whichever email  addresses 
you want for each ALERT that you set up and you choose which emails to use when you  create ALERTS. 

 

Once you have entered your first email address click 

“Save” and repeat

 the process until you have all of 

the email addresses entered. You can go back at any time and add or delete email addresses.
