Testing an Alert

The Test button enables you to test an alert before sending it to subscribers. After defining all attributes for the alert, click Test. If any information is incorrect, you receive a message to correct it. Otherwise, you select a store and a date, and click Test.

Store

2.	Click to select a date, or type a date into the text box. Be sure to select a date with data.
