Current Alerts Tab


Overview

You can subscribe to receive notifications of processing events or conditions. These notifications are known as alerts and are delivered throughout the day, although not all alerts are distributed at the same time. All activities involving these alerts take place in the Alert Manager. The alerts to which you subscribe automatically display on the Current Alerts Tab of the Alert Manager. Optionally, you can use the Delivery Options Tab to specify secure e-mail addresses that you can use to receive these alerts.

Once you select the alerts to which you wish to subscribe, you use the Current Alerts Tab and Past Alerts Tab to monitor and view alerts. If you specify e-mail delivery, you receive your alerts via this option in addition to their displaying on the Current Alerts Tab.

Alerts use the following hierarchy:

NOTE: The Account Maintenance Class contains the Account Set Up and Maintenance Super Category. The Account Set Up and Maintenance Super Category contains the Account Restrictions Category and within it, is the Added Restrictions Sub-Category.

Accessing the Alert Manager

  1. Select Service > Alert Manager.
  2. The first time you launch the Alert Manager, an Alert Subscription Agreement displays and you must accept the agreement if you wish to continue. After accepting the agreement, the Subscriptions Tab displays Your Alerts, which contains a message prompting you to subscribe to alerts. NOTE: After your initial log in, the Current Alerts Tab displays by default. You always have the option of selecting the User Agreement link at the top of the screen to review its contents.
  3. Use the four tabs to perform Alert Manager functions:
    • Current Alerts Tab: Allows you to monitor and view alerts received since midnight (12:00 a.m.) Eastern time of the previous business day.
    • Past Alerts Tab: Allows you to view alerts received during the specified date range within the past ninety days, including the current day.
    • Subscriptions Tab: Allows you to subscribe to the types of alerts you want to receive, to define conditions under which transactions should display on the alert, and to specify e-mail delivery. In the case of the Service Requests and Service Messages Classes of alerts, you also can choose to receive alerts based on their Status.
    • Delivery Options Tab: Allows you to set up optional alert destinations, i.e., secure e-mail addresses.

Filtering Current Alerts

You can use the following filter criteria available in the Filter Alerts By area of the page to focus the alerts that display on the Current Alerts Tab. The filtering established on the Current Alerts Tab also is applied to the Past Alerts Tab. These criteria remain in effect (unless changed by you) while you are logged in. If you close the Alert Manager window and open it again, the filtering is still in effect. However, when you log out, filtering is lost. Therefore, when you open the Alert Manager on a new log in, the lists on the Current Alerts and Past Alerts Tabs are not filtered and all alerts associated with your User ID/PIN combination display.

Filter Criteria Action
Search/for

Select a column name from the Search drop-down list (Options are: Account Owner, Fidelity Short Name, CUSIP, Symbol, Check Amount, Expected Post Date - TOA, Transaction Amount - dollars, and Transaction Amount - shares) and enter a value in the for field. To pass through the filter, values must match exactly.

EXAMPLE: To search for an account name across all alerts, select Account Owner from the Search drop-down list and enter the name in the for field (up to 30 characters).

NOTE: When you specify a value for a column, the system retrieves all alerts containing that value. It cannot and does not dynamically change the overall alert contents to display only those alert line items that match the value.

Enter a ten character brokerage account number (no dashes).

NOTE: When you specify a value for a column, the system retrieves all alerts containing that value. It cannot and does not dynamically change the overall alert contents to display only those alert line items that match the value.
