How to test-trigger a created alert

This should be simple, but how do I test an already created alert in the most current production version of Solarwinds? Can't find via Google or searching Thwack. Help in the console WWW page isn't helping me for this simple question either.

I'm new to Solarwinds and some things just make sense to me and some don't. Since I didn't configure the alerts but need to test trigger them as requested by my management.

I figured there'd be a "sticky" like other forums use to show frequent questions and basic info.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I'll answer my own question.

Settings>Alerts and Reports. Click Action Manger tab, select check-box for an alert and that lights up a Test button on the top menu.
