To add an alert to
a report object:
-
If it is not already
selected, select the report object in the canvas to which you want
to add an alert.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Right-click the report object,
and select Add Alert. The Add
Alert window is displayed.
-
In the right pane, click the
Alerts tab.
Click
. The
Add Alert window is
displayed.
-
On the
Expression tab,
specify the criteria for the alert. You can create a new expression
or use an existing expression.
-
(Optional) Specify how often you want the system to check for the criteria. You can
use the
system default, which is set by your administrator, or you can limit the check to a minute or hourly
increment.
-
On the
Subscription
and Notification tab, add or remove subscribers for the alert. You can specify how frequently
alert notifications are sent. For example, suppose that you specify that you want alert notifications
sent every five days. Then, it will be at least five days before you receive an
alert notification.
Note: Only users who have e-mail
addresses stored in metadata are displayed in the Manage
subscribers list on the Subscription and
Notification tab.
Note: The timing of when alert
notifications are sent can vary depending on when the alert condition
is met.
-
Click
OK.
The details for the alert are displayed at the bottom of the
Alerts tab.
Note: An alert notification has
a blank subject. Some cellular carriers convert text messages to e-mail
messages. When a subject is not specified in an e-mail, these carriers
try to add a subject. Some carriers add the alert condition as the
subject. Other carriers cannot add the subject, so the e-mail message
has a blank subject.
