Setting Up Alerts

Alerts can be added for specific types of dashboard content.

Data updates are performed continuously or nightly, depending on your setup. If you want to be notified when data changes above or below a defined threshold, you can set up data alerts.
  1. On a Dashboard tile, select More options (…) > Manage alerts.
    The More options and Manage alerts options circled in red.
    The Manage alerts pane appears.
  2. Select + Add alert rule.
  3. Turn on the Active toggle.
  4. Enter an Alert title, select a Condition, and enter a Threshold.
  5. Select a Maximum notification frequency and choose whether or not to also receive an email.
    When alerts are sent, they are available in the Notifications Center.
    The toolbar with the Notifications icon marked with a yellow circle.

    If an email was requested, it is sent to your inbox.

    Attention: Do not use the Go to dashboard link in notification emails to access ViewPoint. It defaults to a generic instance of Power BI and will not find the correct dashboard.
  6. To edit or delete alerts, do one of the following:
    • On the dashboard tile showing the alert to be updated, select More options (…) > Manage alerts. Expand the alert and make any updates or delete the alert rule.
      The expand option marked with A and the delete icon marked with B.
    • On the Title bar, select the Settings button, select Settings and then the Alerts tab. For the alert, update the On toggle or select Edit or Delete.
      Settings marked with a 1 and circled in red, the Alerts tab marked with 2 and circled in red, the On toggle marked with 3 and circled in red.
