We've enabled a new feature in the community that should be quite helpful for some of you: Search Subscriptions! With this feature, you can receive email anytime a particular search term is posted to the community. To enable this feature, go to your settings:

 Then select Subscriptions & Notifications > Search Subscriptions:

A few notes:

  • Up to 5 search queries are allowed per user separated by a comma, which is treated as an OR.
  • Words may only contain the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 ,  _ + - : () \" & * ? | ! {} [ ] ^ ~ \\ @ = # % $ ' /. Other characters are removed.
  • Regular expressions and operators will work. For example, if 'apples AND oranges, pears OR bananas' is entered, a notification will be sent if either:
    • A post contains both 'apples' and 'oranges'
    • A post contains either ‘pears’ or ‘bananas’ 
  • You will only be notified once even if a post has the keywords mentioned repeatedly.
  • No notification is sent if a post has the keyword in the Subject line of the post only, it must be contained in the post body.
  • Changes take effect in about 15 minutes.
  • To disable the feature, delete the search query and click Save.

If you prefer RSS, you can also get the RSS feed for a specific search term as follows:
(Note this feature has been present for a while now)

Hi CheckMates!

Are you looking for ways to maintain business continuity and keeping your employees secure? Thanks to our not-so-welcomed COVID-19, AKA, Coronavirus, many of us are required to be prepared for secured remote access to corporate resources.
