Dashboard TIle update question

I have a report with a single value card (numeric) which I've published and pinned to a dashboard.  I've set up an alert on the tile to email when the value is non zero.  In order to test the dashboard alert (non zero alert), I changed the filter on the card in desktop designer to force a return of a non-zero value.  If I upload the report / data set again, I see a non zero value in the report but not in the dashboard.  If I do a refresh tiles within the dashboard, still no change in values.    If I pin the same card from my report into the dashboard, I see a 2nd dashboard tile with the correct non zero value. 

 

Does changing a filter on a card and reuploading a report orphan the origina tile in the dashboard?   What triggers the update of a dashboard tile?

    On the alerts, they can be setup to send once an hour or send once a day.  I would set this to once an hour and then republish/refresh the data after an hour from the time you set it up.  And, see if you get the result.  If you have this set to once a day then it takes a day or so to get the alert.

    Hi davidbr ,

     

    It is because you are republishing the dataset instead of refreshing the original dataset.
