[uma_mahi]

Dear Team,

I am having Power BI pro license and when i am trying to set alerts for the selected visual , the Create alert button has disabled. Please find the following screenshot and clarify me whether its possible to set alerts & email features in Pro license.

Create Alert - Disabled.

Thanks

Hi @uma_mahi ,
Thanks for @Idrissshatila  reply. His reply mentions the concept of data activitor appearing above your screenshot. I checked the documentation and to use this feature you need a Premium or Fabric license. You need to have write permission for a workspace with a Fabric capacity license. You can sign up for a Microsoft Fabric free trial
Power BI creates Data Activator reflections and connects them to the data in the Power BI semantic model. The data activator automatically starts monitoring the data and notifies you when conditions are met.
You can refer to this document for more on how to set up a data activator

Hello @uma_mahi ,

the screenshot you're refering to is for data activator which means you need to have a Fabric license, a Pro license won't work for this but you can do other alerts that is available for pro licenses, refer to this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts

Based on the below, I would think yes.  I wonder if your method is the problem.  Reading further it seems you need to set the dashboard up first, then add the alert to it.  Looking at your screenshot, are you doing it the other way around?

"You can set alerts on tiles in your My Workspace. You can also set alerts if someone shares a dashboard that's in a Premium capacity. If you have a Power BI Pro license, you can set alerts on tiles in any other workspace, too."
