2/17/2022 00:48 | Love this Alert web part, but I'm unable to get the auto refresh of the page to work, I have Page Refresh Interval set to 1 minute... Google Chrome as my browesr. Also, is there a way to add an alert to the list, if I want it to email me when the list changes? I just see how to add an RSS Feed. Thanks for the help. Kelly | | Kelly
2/17/2022 01:10 | Update, refresh interval is now working. Sorry about that, I was wiping out the dates, instead of updating them. | | Kelly
2/24/2022 00:37 | Hi Amrein Support, is there a way to add an alert to the list, so it will email when an item changes. | | Juerg

you actually can use the out-of-the-box “Alert Me” list e-mail subscription feature on the “AEAlerts” list to let users subscribe to list item changes. | | Kay
10/4/2022 20:25 | Hello - when using the Default style and trying to override the font colors, what should be the css/code used to do that? Can you please give an example of bolding or changing size and character style? | | Juerg
10/5/2022 10:53 | Kay,
to style the Alerts text, please enter the CSS styles into the web part’s “Options” setting as illustrated by the below example:
css=.AEALtitle {font-size:15px;color:yellow !important;font-weight:bold} |
