This wizard opens when you click Add New on the Alert configuration page. Step through the wizard to add a VIP alert to Certain Check-In. First you select Organizations and/or Attendee Types to filter a list of Attendees. Then you select the attendees for whom you want alerts when they check in. When you've finished the wizard, you'll return to the Alert configuration page, where the list of alerts will include the one you've just created.

Steps: Initial Configuration – basic details (alert name, and date range). Choose Organizations – from those on attendees' profiles. Choose Attendee Types – from those assigned to attendees.

Note: You can close the wizard, at any time, abandoning your changes, by clicking X in the top right corner and confirming the action.
Step 1: Initial Configuration

Default values: the Event Start Date and Event End Date (as set on Plan > Event Setup > Details).
Step 2: Choose Organizations
- The list includes all Organizations for current attendees.
- Select the Organization(s) to limit the list of attendees to select from in step 4.
- This is optional, but if you don't select any organizations you must select one or more attendee types in the next step.
Step 3: Choose Attendee Types
- Attendee types are listed.
- If you have not selected any Organizations, the list is of all Attendee Types for current attendees.
- If you have selected any Organizations, the list is restricted to Attendee Types for attendees from those Organizations.
- Select the Attendee Type(s) to limit the list of attendees to select from in step 4.

Step 4: Choose Specific Attendees

- are from one of the organizations selected in step 1 (if any were selected), and
- have one of the attendee types selected in step 2 (if any were selected).
- Select at least one of the attendees. (You can select any number.)
- An alert will be sent whenever any of those attendees is checked in via Certain Check-In.
Step 5: Specify Contacts

- Name – The contact's name.
