Special Alert is a computer program that matches every incoming document (e.g. trade leads,
tenders, news etc.) with members' interest areas and alert concerned members through e-mail
about matched documents. The purpose is to update every member about new opportunities

You can create your Alert Profile in 3 Steps:
Select Document Kind
- Select the document kinds you want such as, Indian trade leads,
overseas trade leads, sell leads, tenders etc.
- This process also helps you block unwanted documents. For example, if you
do not select tenders, you will not receive information on new tenders
- The default is all documents, i.e. if you do not exercise this selection, you
will receive information on all kinds of documents
Select Product Category
- Select product categories related to your interest areas. This will ensure,
you receive only documents that belong to selected product categories only.
- There are separate category option for describing your interest areas.
- The default is your company product category (i.e. the categories under which
your profile is listed in directory section). If you do not exercise this option,
you will receive documents that match the categories you have selected under
general product category section of your profile.
Select Keywords
- You can specify upto 12 keywords to describe your interest area in Alert Profile
- Only documents that contain your specified keywords in title section will
be sent to you through alerts.
- Please exercise caution, as you may miss vital documents if keyword selection
is incorrect.
