Enable an Alert List for a Report
Granting permission for an alert list lets the
report user decide whether to be alerted when new versions of the
report output become available.
Whenever the report is run and report output is saved, the report user is alerted by email as a Bcc recipient. The email contains a link to the latest report output.
The alert list is independent of any distribution lists associated with the report Creating Distribution Lists and Contacts.
Before you begin
To grant permission for an alert list, you must have write permission.
The permission to enable an alert list for a report does not extend to a report view associated with the report. You must grant permission for the report view independently.
