Enable Personalized Indicator Alerts

Dashboard designers can enable a business user to create and edit a personal indicator alert. A personal indicator alert is sent only to the user that created the alert. Personal indicator alerts are sent in addition to any alerts that are created for an indicator by a dashboard designer.
To enable a user to create personalized indicator alerts, complete the following steps:
  1. In the SAS BI Dashboard designer, open the indicator for which you want to enable alerts.
  2. In the Properties pane, expand the Personalized User Settings section at the bottom of the pane.
