The current when data value is above or below a threshold.
I would like 'alerts' to provide option to send 'alerts' when the data change. The goal is to anchor the 'alerts' to a reporting date and send notification when reporting date changes.
The current 'alerts' does not allow for a custom message hence using the threshold would generate a fairly obscure message.

RE: Alert whenever data changes

Once the dataset refreshes, even if there is a new data , and the data alert trigger value is above threshold but it is same as the previous value , the alert does not get triggered. There should be a way where we can allow the alert to be triggered even if the value is same.

RE: Alert whenever data changes

Hi everyone,

At the moment, alerts are based on conditions and thresholds. 

It would be very useful to have an alert that sends a notification when the data value changes.

This could be applied to:

1. Flag Extreme events
2. Know when status has changed
3. Trigger alerts where we just need to know whether a value decreased or increased

If you can consider this enhancement, that would be great!

Thanks,
Julian

Today is the 3rd time I have been requested to provide functionality of reporting "successful data refreshes" from a scheduled process. Please prioritize.
