This semester begins with:

-   [Alert and Reminders](#h_3811d55873)
    
-   [Manually Editing Chemistry Metadata](#h_eabd8b8f56)
    
-   [Filtering Experiments by Chemical Structure](#h_f079efcb6e)
    

# **Alert and Reminders**

You can now set alerts on date fields to ensure you never miss an important date, such as:

-   Alerts on Expiry Dates of Inventory Items
    
-   Alerts for Servicing or Calibration Dates on Equipment / Devices
    
-   Alerts for Due dates on Order Requests
    
-   Alerts for important dates in Experiments and Protocols.
    

Set your alerts to trigger minutes, hours, days or weeks before the actual date to give you time to act on them!

Set up your alerts at the template level, so they are set automatically for new items as soon as dates are entered.
