Overview

The Alerts widget provides a list of predefined notifications (aka Alerts). Alerts are utilized by the Alerts Widget and come in two types- System or Custom. The system Alerts cannot be changed, but may be copied in order to customize in some way.


 

Key Concepts

To Create New Alerts click Manage>Alerts from the toolbar. The name of the Alert, and the query itself can be specified there. The Alerts widget assumes the first column of the resulting set of data is a string that is itself the alert.
