Create Alert dialog box

The Create Alert dialog box appears when you choose the New button from the Create Alerts dialog box.

Note:    The Edit Alert dialog box appears when you choose the Edit button from the Create Alerts dialog box. The Create Alert dialog box and the Edit Alert dialog box contain the same functionality.

Use the Create Alert dialog box to specify the details of a condition that, when met, displays a message about the report data.

Name

Type the name you want to use for the Report Alert.

Message

You can type a message directly in the Message box, or you can open the Alert Message Formula Editor and enter a message there.

The Alert Message formula is limited to 254 characters.

Condition

Click this button to open the Alert Condition Formula Editor. Use the editor to create the alert condition you want. For example, if you want to know which countries are making sales over $150,000 a year, you'd enter a formula like:

Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales}, {Customer.Country}) > 150000

Enabled

This check box must be selected if you want the Report Alert to be evaluated; otherwise, the alert is ignored.
