Some emails will automatically be verified and can be used straight away, these are Office 365 and Google emails that have been provisioned by SIMS ID
Any other type of email that is stored by SIMS ID will require verification and any custom emails will also require verification
In order to use a custom email you will need to select the custom email option within the table and then enter you email into the field that is shown
Once you have selected one of the stored unverified emails or entered a email you will receive a verification mail that will contain a code needed to verify this new email to be used in alerts

You can verify the email with either of the link within the mail
The first link will automatically verify you code and mail if you click on it, if you are logged into SIMS ID (if not you will be required to log into SIMS ID) it will take you straight through to notification page where you will see that you mail has been verified
