Power BI ALerts

[CEllis]

I have a PPU licence and set the workspace to premium per user but I cant seem to get the workspace to work.

Do I need a differnt licence than PPU to use alerts ?

Hi. That doesn't look like a Dashboard alert but a report alert. The alert configured at reports are connected to Data Activator. Data Activator it's a Fabric service that can help configure triggers from a rule or condition.

If you want to create an alert like the one on the link you have sent, you should pin card, gauge or KPI to a dashboard. Then open the dashboard and click the three dots to configure the alert. That one works even for pro license.

I hope that helps,

Hi. You are still on the report view. I can see that at the picture. If you read on the top right corner it says "Data Activator is in preview...."

When you pinn the visual to a dashboard. Then open the dashboard and "manage alerts". You should see something like this:

As you can see, the dashboard has a different menu when you "Manage Alert" from a card, kpi or gauge.

Remember:

•  A dashboard is a single screen with tiles of interactive visuals, text, and graphics. A dashboard collects your most important metrics, on one screen, to tell a story or answer a question. The dashboard content comes from one or more reports and one or more semantic models.

  For more info, see Dashboards for the Power BI service business users.

•  A report is one or more pages of interactive visuals, text, and graphics that together make up a single report. Power BI bases a report on a single semantic model. Often, the designer organizes report pages to each address a central area of interest or answer a single question.

I hope that make sense

Hello @ibarrau ,

I want to ask about the alert through data activator, can i use it with PPU license ?

No. Data Activator is a service that comes with Fabric Capacity. It's still in preview for now, so we have to stay tuned for next steps, it might change in a future.
