About Report Alerts

Report Alerts are custom messages created in Crystal Reports that appear when certain conditions are met by data in a report. Report Alerts may indicate action to be taken by the user or information about report data.

Report Alerts are created from formulas that evaluate conditions you specify. If the condition is true, the alert is triggered and its message is displayed. Messages can be text strings or formulas that combine text and report fields.

Once a Report Alert is triggered, it's not evaluated again until you refresh your report's data.

Because Report Alerts are specific to each report, you decide when to use them and when not to. They can be useful to point out important information, such as sales that fall above or below a limit. And the message is created by you, so it can be specific to your data.
