Dynamic Alerts

[Former Member]

Guys, guess what? I just checked a dashboard where dynamic alerts are been implemented.

I have been trying to figure out how to give values to GREEN, YELLOW and RED categories of alerts in Xcelsius/Dashboards. There is no way you can bind excel cell in alerts except 'As a Percent of target'.

Here is something I would like you to check http://xavierhacking.nl/xa4/alertdemo.swf This is simple when it comes to single value.

Has somebody tried to set 2-3 values to alerts?

Any inputs would really be appreciated.

Thanks guys for your inputs.

What happened is, I had very old dashboard to work on in 4.0 SP06 which did not have Use a Range option checked. This led me to the confusion.

It is pretty easy, all you need to do it use Use a Range option in Alert and map it to as many threshold values you have. It may then dynamically chance after you change the cell values.

Hi Tejas,

We can implement  3 alerts dynamically at a time,

Select enable alerts in alert tab.

and you should alter the alert threshold values manually  based on requirement.

ex : 1.  minimum to 30

      2.  30  to    75

      3.  75  to   100
