List URL

In this field, you need to paste the list URL that you have copied when you finished to create the list.

We recommend you use relative paths in this field. So instead of using a URL like https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/Home/Lists/Alerts you should use something like /sites/Home/Lists/Alerts. This will ensure that the web part will work regardless of how you’re accessing the site.

For some versions of SharePoint, you may get the following error: Object doesn't support property or method 'getList'. This error can be fixed by adding a question mark followed by the name of the list at the end of the URL. e.g. …/Lists/Alerts/ would become …/Lists/Alerts/?Alerts List

Style from master

This setting applies when a BindTuning theme is installed. If you enable this option, the alerts styles that come with the web part will be overwritten by the installed BindTuning theme style. This allows you to achieve a more consistent and integrated UI.
