Rather than actively searching for documents using queries, alerts allow you to receive information about documents via email. Once you define a query and a frequency, you regularly receive information about new and modified documents that refer to your query. For instance, the screenshot below illustrates an email alert on the keyword Nice.
Each document is composed of three pieces of information : the document title, where to find it, and when it has been created or modified.

Using the search admin role, you first need to configure the alert mechanism so that it uses the smtp server to send emails.
The Alerts Administration UI allows to graphically edit the config file mail.txt which is stored in InstallationDirectoryDatafari/bin/common
It needs the following information:
smtpHost = the name of the host
from = the address (exemple@exemple.com)
username = the username (usually it will be the address)
password = the password of the mail address
For Instance :
smtpHost = smtp.gmail.com;
from = datafari.test@gmail.com;
username = datafari.test@gmail.com;
password = ********;
Once this is configured and saved, you need to restart the alerts using the dedicated button.
