👉 Let's deep-dive into the feature.

Overview of the Data Alert process

Once the Data Alert is set up for a tile on the dashboard, that tile is run as per the check frequency. The tile is run with the dashboard filters applied. On the resultant data, the Alert conditions are checked. If there is data meeting the alert conditions the alert is triggered.
