Choosing the Order Notification Method

You can choose to be notified of generated orders and changes in order status using email messaging, sound alerts, or the Alert window. You can set up a single notification type for a specific order status or use a combination. For example, for filled orders, you might want to receive an email notification along with a sound alert. To set up your order notification methods, see Setting Up Order Notification Methods.

Sound
