  6. Click Save to finalize the License Plate of Interest.

Alternatively, you can toggle License Plate of Interest on any license plate entry in the All License Plates view.

    1. Any recipient added to this alert will see it appear under the Shared Alerts section of their Alerts page.

    2. Recipients can be notified either via a push notification, SMS, or email.

    3. By default, you will be added to the alert created. To remove yourself, select the dropdown menu and click Delete.

  9. Click Next on the bottom right of the configuration window once you have configured all the desired alert settings.

    1. Enter a descriptive name for the alert.

    2. Click Done and you will start to receive alerts.

LPOI is configured on a per-organization basis. The LPOI list is shared among all users of the organization. Email and SMS notifications are configured on a per-user basis. When you enable SMS or email notifications, you will get notifications for all LPOIs in the organization.
