    Hi ldwf ,

    Thanks for getting back and sharing the update Can you confirm if the dashboard tiles are pinned from a live report connection or a dataset? Sometimes, alerts won’t work if the tile is from a live connection like Analysis Services.Please check if the dataset used in the dashboard is in a Premium workspace but not connected through a DirectQuery live connection  alerts don’t work with certain live connections.

     Make sure that the dashboard is in a workspace where alerts are supported for example, personal workspaces (My Workspace) do support alerts, but live connections can stop them from appearing.

    I hope this information is helpful.

did they select a suitable visual backed by a measure?

For myself and others, the icon appears as soon as we open the dashboard; i.e, we don't click on any visuals, but for this individual (who owns the dashboard and has admin rights to the workspace) the icon does not appear at all.
