Alert Icons have appeared and how to turn them off

[tonylee]

It appears that every visualisation in my reports now have an alert icon next to them.

I am convinced that this wasn't there a few days ago and it's on every single visual.

It would be less of an issue if you could actually set up an alert but no matter what I do the 'create' button is greyed out.

It does appear that I need Fabric capacity, which I don't have.

Is there any way of turning off the alert bell icon? It doesn't appear to be in the list of icons that I can manage in the desktop.

Thanks

Hi @tonylee 

Here are some limitation of alert:

• Alerts aren't supported for card tiles with date or time measures.
• Alerts only work with numeric data types.
• Alerts only work on refreshed data. They don't work on static data.
• Because alerts are only sent if your data changes, you don't receive duplicate alerts for an unchanged value.
• Alerts only work on streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard.
• You can create up to 250 alerts across all your models.

Set data alerts in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

The icons can only disappear in read model:

In Edit mode:

Then in read mode:

Thanks for your response. You showed how to turn off all icons but there are icons that I want to show. In the desktop you can pick and choose which items to show but the alert icon isn't one that has an individual check box. I want to keep some icons and hide others as the feature is designed to... so how do I hide the Alert icon

Hi @tonylee @kylesnow06 

Unfortunately that I was confused by this icon before, but actually the alert icon can not be hidden individually.

Maybe you can submit the idea in Microsoft Fabric Ideas:

I'm having the same issue as well. Can't find out where to turn off that icon, either when editing in the desktop or the Power BI Service.
