My Alerts Organizer - from Bamboo Solutions
What Does It Do?
The Bamboo My Alerts Organizer provides users with the ability to view all the alerts they have setup for each site in a site collection from a single view. Users can access the My Alerts Organizer right from their SharePoint site through the user’s personal menu. This feature allows users to easily create new alerts, group alerts, enable/disable alerts, delete alerts, and perform inline editing of alert frequency settings.

How Does It Work?
Users can access this product through their SharePoint personal menu located at the top right corner of your SharePoint site.
Then users can navigate the site tree to view alerts they have on each site. Users can also add, delete, enable/disable (toggle) and edit alerts from the My Alerts Organizer.
NOTE: This product is a SharePoint feature and is installed as a solution through the SharePoint Installer. Once installed, the My Alerts Organizer feature can be activated or deactivated by a Site Collection Administrator from Site Collection Features under Site Settings.
Why Did We Build It?
Currently, SharePoint users (MOSS and WSS 3.0) can view and edit the alerts they’ve set up for a particular list or library, or even individual items. However, this fragmented view makes it is easy to forget which alerts you’ve set up and which ones you need to set up within a site or site collection. Users don’t have a way to manage all of their alerts, from a single location for each site within a site collection. The Bamboo My Alerts Organizer enables users to easily manage all of their alerts from one location while also providing the ability for users to access this single view from anywhere in SharePoint from the user's personal menu.
