What are alerts in Business Radar?
Alerts in Business Radar notify you about specific events, news, or publications that are relevant to your portfolios. These alerts are sent via email, keeping you informed about important developments without needing to check your browser.
Alerts are based on predefined filters, which may include legal or financial issues such as antitrust cases, money laundering, or tax evasion. To use the alert function efficiently, it helps to regularly monitor whether the alerts you’re receiving are helpful and adjust them to ensure they inform you about exactly what you need to know.
Why are they important?
Alerts are crucial because they provide timely, relevant information, helping you stay on top of important developments related to your portfolios or specific buyers. Effectively setting up alerts allows you to filter through large volumes of data and focus on the insights that matter most, avoiding information overload. This can significantly impact business decisions by flagging critical legal or financial issues.
