My Searches and Alerts

Viewing Saved Searches

You may view your Saved Searches and alerts by selecting:

Or by selecting “View Saved” from the Search History window.

When you select either of these options, the system will display all your saved searches and autolerts.  Searches and autoalerts are organized by search type:

  • Temporary Searches
  • Permanent Searches
  • AutoAlerts
  • Shared Searches
  • Expert Searches
 Expert Searches are developed by subject matter or site experts. Site administrators can provide search strategies that focus on a research topic.
  For information on how to create a Saved Search, select Saving a Search page.

Viewing AutoAlert History

You can view the events archive of an AutoAlert by clicking its History icon from the Saved Searches page.

 

History logs apply to AutoAlerts only.


History entries do not carry over from the original alert to the copy. However, OvidSP displays the name of the original alert in the create event of the copy.

OvidSP opens the AutoAlert History page where it keeps a log of actions (event types) for the AutoAlert you selected, including the name of the database of origin and a date-and-time log of AutoAlert activities.

Occasionally, Saved Set Results links display in an AutoAlert's history. Clicking this link erases the search history of your current session and switches to the database in which the alert was created.
