How to set up data alerts
Get an email and a bell notification when a chart's total goes above or below a number, or rises or falls by a percentage. Calculated from your own rows. Narrated.
The steps
- 1Stop opening a report every morning just to check one number. A data alert watches it for you, and tells you when it changes.
- 2Open the report, choose More, then Alerts.
- 3Pick the chart, Total sales. Choose goes above, enter twenty-five million, keep check daily, and choose Add alert. You see today's value straight away: 24.89 million.
- 4When the total crosses your line, you get an email with the new value and a link to the report. It alerts once when the line is crossed, not on every check.
- 5It also appears under the bell in the app, so you see it next time you sign in.
- 6To catch a sudden move instead, choose rises by, or falls by, a percentage. Each check is compared with the previous one.
- 7And they're your numbers. Priya sees Canada, so her alert watches Canada's total. Check now, pause or delete any alert, up to twenty-five each.
