Contact list

The following is an explanation of the fields that are used in the Add Contact list form:

• List Name - A uniquely identifiable display name for the list.
• Users - A dropdown of available users for selection to receive alerts.

  Note: You may add one or more users to the contact list by clicking on the green + User button. The red X button allows you to delete a user alert.

• Method - Delivery method for alerts.
• Max Alerts - Select a limit for alerts.
