About the Alert Editor

With the Alert Editor, you can define a data alert. A data alert is a scheduled job that evaluates an alert condition. An alert condition is an Aggregated Table or a Listing Table insight that you create using the Analyzer. If the alert condition evaluates to True, the scheduled job for a data alert sends an email data notification to one or more users, one or more group of users, or one or more email addresses.
