One of the more useful tools in Edelweiss Analytics is the ability to create your own custom “push-notifications” that are delivered to your (or your colleagues’…or your accounts, if you’re feeling bold) email address. Whether daily, weekly, or monthly, you can receive lists of titles that fit a particular need that you’ve identified. Of course, you’ll likely go Subscription-Happy right off the bat and send your self a whole slew of emails that you’ll later want to scale back, so you can easily edit those email subscriptions, as well.

Here’s how:

As an example, we’ll use the Most Popular Titles lane. First, use your filters, etc. to get the list of titles you want to see for a particular account. For example, you can set a Saved Filter for Mystery titles, and then click in to the red portion of the pie chart, for titles your account does not have in stock. Click the envelope icon to get to the Subscriptions tool for this particular lane:

You’ll see the Subscriptions interface, name it whatever you like, change the frequency (daily, weekly monthly), and the number of titles (10, 25, or 50). Make those edits as you like, and click Save.

Note that you can see all currently scheduled emails below. Click the envelope there to send a sample right away, the edit icon to change the parameters of the email, and the trashcan to delete it.

You can create these alerts to show you a monthly report of out-of-stock kids board books that your account might like to know about. Create separate emails for separate accounts, and more!
