Data Alert - Basic

1. What are Data Alerts?

For informed business decisions, you need to know changes in your business data. When manually monitoring huge data which continues to grow everyday, you may miss vital information that needs your attention. Data alert helps you in this.  This alerts you on important business changes, which you have set up as conditions, through E-mail or in-app notification. This enables you to take appropriate timely action to seize opportunities.

2. Who can use Data Alerts? 

Users with a paid account (Standard Plan and above) can avail this feature.  For more details refer to our Pricing Page. 

The Account Administrator, Organization Administrators and Workspace Administrators of a workspace can create Data Alerts.

3. On what views can I create a Data Alert over?

You can create Data Alerts over the following views.

4. How does the Data Alert work?

The following lists basic Data Alert work flow.

  • Select the report you want to track the key metrics of.
  • Add alert by specifying the conditions to be verified.
  • Specify how often the conditions need to be verified.
  • Specify how need to be notified and the notification channel (E-mail or In-App notification).
  • Zoho Analytics will alert you as and when the set conditions are met.

2. How do I create a Data Alert over Charts - Detailed flow?

3. How do I create a Data Alert over Pivot Views - Detailed flow?

4. How do I create a Data Alert over Summary Views?

Creating Data Alert over a summary view will be similar to that of a chart. The applied conditions will be matched over the data cell of the Summary View. 

5. How do I create data alerts over Threshold?

Zoho Analytics enables you to create alerts based on thresholds set for a specific view.

A threshold is a predefined value that serves as a benchmark or limit for data points. When data values cross this threshold, an alert can be triggered, making it easier to monitor and respond to significant changes.

To create alerts over thresholds:

  1. Open the View: Navigate to the view where you want to set an alert.
  2. Set a Threshold: Ensure the view has a threshold value. To learn about adding a threshold value, click here.
  3. Create an Alert:
    • Click the Alerts icon at the top right corner.
    • Select Create Alert.
  4. Configure the Alert:
    • In the Create Alert dialog box that opens, specify the conditions.
    • Select the appropriate options for Reference Axis, Operator, and Alert based on.
    • Choose the Threshold option from the Alert based on drop-down menu.
  5. Once the condition for an alert is set, follow the steps mentioned in the above presentation to finalize the alert creation.

6. How do I create data alerts over Anomalies?

Zoho Analytics enables you to create alerts based on anomalies detected in a specific view.

Anomaly in reports denotes unexpected or unusual data patterns that diverge from typical behavior or norms. These anomalies often highlight errors, outliers, or noteworthy changes in data trends, prompting further scrutiny to understand their implications for accurate analysis and decision-making.

To create alerts over anomalies,

  1. Open the View: Navigate to the view where you want to set an alert.
  2. Set an Anomaly: Ensure the view has an anomaly detection setup. To learn about setting up an anomaly detection, click here.
  3. Create an Alert:
    • Click the Alerts icon at the top right corner.
    • Select Create Alert.
  4. Configure the Alert:
    • Create Alert dialog box will open.
    • Select the Based On Anomaly tab to create an alert when an anomaly is detected.
    • Select the appropriate options for Choose Anomaly, Generated Timeline, and To Alert.
  5. Based on the data on the X-Axis, the options to create an alert based on anomalies vary.
    • X-axis with date value:
      • You can choose the Generated Timeline, based on the date values in the X-Axis.
      • To Alert drop-down has All and Top anomalies options. Choosing the Top option allows you to generate an alert for Top 1 or 2 or 3 anomalies.
    • X-axis without date value:
      • Generated Timeline option by default will be selected as All and cannot be changed.
      • To Alert option will also be selected as All by default and cannot be changed.
  6. Once the condition for an alert is set, follow the steps mentioned in the above presentation to finalize the alert creation.

7. Can I create multiple alerts over a report?
