data alert

Hi everyone

 

I tried to manaage alert from streaming data in power bi but I cant find any manage alert option when i clicked on the upper right of the tile on dashboard.

I thought maybe because I need pro license but then I read somewhere I actually dont need pro license to set alert from my workspace. I tried using the sample with current account no pro license then I able to manage alert. 

Can someone guide me the steps to manage alert or maybe clarify my problem please?

    Hi ibarrau

     

    Thank you for the solution. 

    I created the report first and save, then pin it to dashboard. Then I can manage alert successfully. 

    The humidity level came out in weird value because apparently I mislook there is advanced setting to set only average value is shown.

     

    Thank you again.

    Best regards, 

    Jannah

    Hi. Which visualization are you using? how are you creating it? be sure to follow the instructions:

    "Alerts can be set on tiles pinned from report visuals or from Power BI Q&A, and only on gauges, KPIs, and cards."

    You must pin the tile from a report and it only work for three visuals. You can read more about them here:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-alerts

    I hope that helps,

      Hi

      Thank you for your response.

      I used card visualization. I got streaming data from Azure and saved it in my workspace. Then I created a dashboard there and add a tile in card visualization tha contained real time data that I got from Azure.

      Then from that, I tried to manage alert but i cant find that option on the tile. I attached the screenshot of created tile on dashboard.

      So thats the background of my problem , it helps a lot if you can identify what is the problem and solution. 

      Thank you.

        Hi. Ok, the visual is ok. However the card doesn't look ok. Are you pinning that from a Report with of a Streaming datasets? The only alerts you can set are for the three visuals pinned from a report. You have to build an streaming dataset first. Then create a report with that and finally pin the visual to a dashboard.

        I hope that make sense.
