Create or Edit a Personal Indicator Alert

If a dashboard administrator has enabled personal alerts for an indicator, you can define a personal indicator alert on the indicator. A personal indicator alert is sent only to you. This is different from an indicator alert, which is sent to a list of one or more alert subscribers.
A personal alert is in addition to any alerts attached to an indicator that was created by a dashboard administrator.
Note: The alerts shown on this page are only your personal indicator alerts. Indicator alerts created by dashboard administrators are not shown.
To create or edit a personal indicator alert, from an indicator's Options menu, select Personalize Alerts.
Options menu, Personalize Alerts
Note: If Personalize Alerts is not available, then the dashboard administrator has not enabled personalization. If the Options menu is not available, the indicator is not being displayed in a tile. Contact the dashboard administrator. For information about tiles, see Tiles.
The Edit Indicator Alerts dialog box appears in a new window.
