E-mail Notification of Search Results

When you schedule a search to run, you have the option of receiving e-mail notification when new results of a search you scheduled are reported. You can now be informed by e-mail, within 24 hours of the scheduled search being run, of the time and date of the executed search, the name of the search, and the number of new documents (if any) available for viewing in Checkpoint.

To use the e-mail option, you must provide a publicly accessible e-mail address on the Options screen.

  1. Click Options on the Top Toolbar.
  2. Under Personal/Password, enter your e-mail address in the User Info field.
  3. Click Save at the top or bottom of the screen.

You can change or cancel the scheduled run day and date. To do this, click My Folders on the Top Toolbar, and then click the Modify Schedule icon for the relevant saved search.

Searches are run beginning at 12:30 a.m. CST on the day they are scheduled. Friday searches are run at 12:30 a.m. CST on Friday.

If you have elected to be notified by e-mail when new results are retrieved, the system checks to see if your search has been executed in the past 24 hours.

If your search was executed and new documents were retrieved, Checkpoint creates an e-mail message and sends it to the e-mail address you specified on the Options screen. Multiple search results for the same day are bundled into one e-mail notification message. If the search returns no new documents, you will not receive an e-mail message.

Example:

For example, to schedule a search to run every week on Tuesday at 12:30 a.m.:

1. Before 12:00 midnight CST on Monday, schedule the search to run.

2. On Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. CST, your scheduled search is run. If new documents have been retrieved, a notification message appears on the Search screen and in the Last Run column of the Search History table on the History screen.

3. On Tuesday, the system sees that your scheduled search ran within the last 24 hours and sends you an e-mail message. This message contains the name of the scheduled search, the time and date of the search, and the number of new documents available for viewing in Checkpoint.

Note: Because this is a scheduled search, it returns new documents only for the time period for which it was scheduled! If you are running a weekly search, you will receive notification of NEW items for the seven days preceding the search.

If you run a manual search, you may receive different results. A manual search is not associated with a time frame and will include all documents that match the criteria.
