The gauges uses variable X (interval variable) and is divided by a categorical variable that we'll call Y.</P><P>I want my alert to send me notifications whenever X is above a certain value. However, it does not seem to work, even though I can see that X is above the value for some of the categories.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is it&nbsp; possible that using the categorical variable is messing things up?</P> Thu, 26 Jul 2018 15:42:28 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics/Using-Alerts-in-Reports-effectively/m-p/481562#M10741 ewv 2018-07-26T15:42:28Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics/Using-Alerts-in-Reports-effectively/m-p/481933#M10757 <P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I think I found the solution to my own problem</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>In the report designer, under preferences/General/Alert notification:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Mine was set to 'Use the system default for alert notifications'.
