To preview the alert as an anonymous site visitor, leave this field blank and set the Security Category for the alert to General. Otherwise, you may get an error, because the preview honors a restricted Security Category.
If you have left the Preview as Existing Constituent field blank (see step #2 above), you are identified as an anonymous site visitor and may get an error if the alert is set to a restricted Security Category.
