Once triggered, all Alerts arrive at your Watchdog Alerts part on your Home Dashboard. There you can open, forward, and delete your Alerts. You can also create stand-alone Alerts to send to others.
Your newest alerts (up to 200) are displayed on the Home Dashboard.
Alerts remain in your Watchdog Alerts part for 62 days or until you delete them.
