Hello, I am glad the first part of the answer has helped you but I think I made a mistake. Actually, I find you are not allowed to send a personalized written message by the alerts option (and in this case, I have assumpted that it was possible to write a message as we can do in the distribution option but I was wrong :(). Anyway, what you can do is set your alert like this: 1) Go to the Subscription and Notification sheet; 2) Check the box "create an alert based on this rule"; 3) + Add one or more subscribers (pick them from the left list - if you don't see a list, contact your admin) and transfer them to the right pane; 4) In the second sheet (you will see a little man and a clock) you can add a name to show, an identifier and if you want you can add other subscribers. After saving your report, if your rule is met, the subscribers will receive a message like this: SAS Alert: A metric condition has been met A metric condition has been met for <Name of your table> in the <Name of your report> "M1" < 50 Click on the link to see the object or changing your parameters: <Link to your report> I personally couldn't find a way to add a message to the alert but I suggest you read the links below: http://support.sas.com/kb/53/757.html https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics/quot-Alert-quot-function-in-SAS-VA/m-p/193350/highlight/true#M1469 https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics/Alert-Based-Email/m-p/202155/highlight/true#M1819
