A Notification Request is a way of setting up the system so that when events that you are interested in are added to the calendar, you will automatically receive an EMail message. When you create a Request, each new event added to the calendar is tested against the Request, and if it is a match, then you will receive an EMail Notification about the new event. You can search for specific key words, or for specific key words matching a set criteria (see Keywords and Specific Set below) . You can have as many notification requests as you would like.
From the menu, click on the Options Icon, and then Reminders and Notifications. Choose Click Add Notification Request at the bottom of the Notification Request list to create a new request.
