Granting permission for an alert list lets the
report user decide whether to be alerted when new versions of the
report output become available.
Whenever the report
is run and report output is saved, the report user is alerted by email
as a Bcc recipient. The email contains a link to the latest report
output.
The alert list is independent of any distribution lists
associated with the report Creating Distribution Lists and Contacts.
Before you begin
To grant permission for an alert list, you must have write
permission.
The permission to enable an alert list for a report
does not extend to a report view associated with the report. You must
grant permission for the report view independently.
Procedure

button next to the report for which you want to enable an alert list.
- On the Report tab for Report Studio
reports, the Query tab for Query Studio reports,
or the Analysis tab for Analysis Studio reports,
click Advanced options, and then click the Enable
alerts about new versions check box.
- Click OK.
Results
Users can now add their names to the alert list for notifications
of the report outputs.
