Data Alerts

The Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform supports Data Alerts. This feature tests a trigger on a scheduled basis and delivers an Insight using email to a list of recipients if the trigger condition is true. Triggers are based on a selected table and are true if the table has at least one row of data, and false if the table is empty. That is, to use this feature, the logged-in user would need to select a target dashboard that already exists, and creates a condition table Insight (containing a filter). If the condition table returns at least one row, the condition is true and the target dashboard will be sent to the recipients listed in the Alert editor. If the table is empty, the condition is then false, and thus no alerts will be sent.

To access the Data Alerts feature:

  1. Navigate to the Insight you want to configure for data alerts, or the Scheduler section of the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform. The Scheduler opens to the Dashboards tab by default.
  2. Select the Data Alerts tab.
  3. Select Active, Suspended, Completed, or All, alerts in the drop-down menu to display a list of the selected alerts filter.
  4. Select the + icon in the Action bar to create, or import, an alert. The Alert Editor window opens.

  5. Provide the following fields:

    • Alert Name: Provide a name for the alert, as this field is mandatory. The name must be unique per logged-in user, and it is case sensitive.
    • Alert Description: Optionally, provide a description for the alert.
    • Type: Select the email format (HTML/XLSX/CSV), which is a mandatory field. HTML is the default format for this field.
    • Target: Select the pen icon to select a dashboard (owned by, or shared with, the logged-in user) to be sent in this mandatory field. The dashboard list opens. When sending a target dashboard, Default/Mandatory Prompt filters, Applied filters, and dashboard default filter options will be considered.

    • Condition: Use the pen icon to create a condition table Insight (using a filter on that Insight) to be sent to the engine. The Analyzer opens. If the table gets returned from the engine containing data (rows), then the condition will be evaluated as true. Otherwise, it is considered false.

    • Start By: Set the date, time, and time zone when the condition evaluation should start.
    • Recurrence: Set the recurrence of evaluating the condition. This is a mandatory field.
    • Send To: Select the ”+” icon to add the alert recipients, which could be any combination of the Incorta users/groups and emails. Then, type the names, groups, or email addresses of the dashboard recipients. You can also select from the suggestions appearing as you type. Select Add, or Cancel.

  6. Select Done in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to finish creating the data alert.
  7. Select an alert from the Data Alerts list, the Alert Editor window appears.
  8. Select one or more data alerts, and select the “Actions” drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner to:

    • Export the data alert(s).
    • Delete the selection(s).

The Data Alerts feature is available to create and edit for users with the following roles:

  • Analyze User.
  • Individual Analyzer.
  • SuperRole. (When the “Super User” mode is enabled, users with this role can view and edit other users’ alerts.)
