My Alerts

Overview

The My Alerts section is the first thing you see when you open Footprint, and contains all the most important information you need to know, brought to you in real time.

When any of the Alerts you have subscribed to in Footprint are activated, an Alert Notification will be created, containing details about the event that set off the Alert. You are able to manage these Alert Notifications here, as well as your Alert Subscriptions.
