SharePoint 2013 gives you an ability to stay informed about the changes at the SharePoint site using alerts feature. It is not enabled by default and you need to set it up for the necessary list, library or item. Alerts feature sends an email or a text message to a user when some changes have been made on the site. You can set up alerts for a list, library, document, file, list item and folder and specify what changes you want to be informed about. When setting up alerts you can specify users who will receive notifications, type of changes and frequency of notifications. Visit our PlexHosted Wiki to learn more about alerts in SharePoint 2013.

How to sort and filter SharePoint 2013 lists and libraries.

When you deal with a huge amount of data inside your list or library it may be difficult to find the necessary information or to view the required items on a single page. For more efficient document management and the ability to organize huge lists and libraries SharePoint provides sorting and filtering capabilities. In each list or library you can use column headers to sort items in ascending or descending order. Each column in your apps you can use to apply a filter to the page view. Filtering capabilities in SharePoint apps are the same as the ones in Microsoft Excel desktop application. Additionally, for more convenient accessing and organization data the view with applied filters can be saved for further usage.
