Explanation:
Configure alert settings for a Web application To help users keep track of changes that are made to a
Web site, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 includes the alerts feature, which is an email
notification service. Users can configure which alerts they want to receive or send to communicate
and track changes to items on a Web site. Users can create alerts on the following items in a site:
Lists Users are notified of changes to the list, such as when an item is added, deleted, or changed in
a list.
List items Users are notified of changes to a particular item in a list.
Document libraries Users are notified of changes to the document library, such as when a document
is added, deleted, or changed in a document library or when Web discussions
are added, changed, deleted, closed, or started for a document.
Documents
Users are notified of changes in a particular document such as when a document is changed, added,
deleted, or closed.
You can use Central Administration to configure alerts. You can turn on or turn off alerts, and you
can specify how many alerts users can create.
Before alerts can work for any Web site, outgoing email must be enabled for the server.

Administrators SharePoint group.
2. On the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, click Application Management.

5. On the ribbon, click the General Settings drop-down menu, and then click General
Settings.
6. On the Web Application General Settings page, in the Alerts section, configure the following
settings:
Specify whether alerts are On or Off. By default, alerts are On.
Specify the Maximum number of alerts that a user can create in a SharePoint Web site. This value
can be any integer from 1 through 2,000,000,000, or you can specify that the number of alerts is
unlimited. The default value is 500 alerts.
7. After you have finished configuring alerts, click OK.
