Hello.
I have the following page on Power BI desktop.
The report is uploaded to the PBi service (online) and then I added the entired page to a dashboard.
I understand I can create alarms on Cards in a dashboard.
I can`t see the option to add an alarm to each card, I can`t do anything on that page (just to select values on a slicer and data is changing accordingly).
I would like to set an alarm for each card, when a specific value is being reached, to send us an email.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Hi @Alexandra_B ,
When you pin the entire report page to the dashboard, the entire report page is a live tile, you could not set alert is correct, because alerts can only be set on tiles pinned from report visuals, and only on gauges, KPIs, and cards, you need pin every card visual to dashboard as a tile, then set alert for every card tile.

Hello, @Anonymous ,
Thank you for your comment.
Correct, I tried to pin individual cards to the dashboard and I could set the alarms, I get an email notification as well, and I can see it on the dashboard as well.
How could I set up the emails to go to external emails (not the the owner of the report/dashboard)?
Thank you.
