  • SDI alert services that the user has subscribed to – These are public SDI profiles that the user has subscribed to. Click the discontinue subscription symbol beside the profile to discontinue the subscription. Click the profile itself to display its full details.
  • SDI alert services that the user can subscribe to – These are public SDI profiles that the user has not already subscribed to. Click the subscribe symbol beside the profile to subscribe to it. Click the profile itself to display its full details. Alternatively, the user can create a copy of the public SDI profile and adjust it to suit more specific requirements.
