Enabling and managing data alerts

Data alerts in Qlik Cloud notify users when specific conditions or thresholds in their data are met, helping them stay informed about critical changes. Administrators can enable and manage alerts in the tenant.

Enabling alerts

To allow users to create and manage data alerts, alerts must first be enabled in the tenant. Tenant admins can enable alerts.

Do the following:

  1. In the Administration activity center, go to Settings.

  2. Under Feature control, toggle on Data alerts.

To use email notifications, you must also configure an email server. For more information, see Configuring email for reports and notifications.

Managing alerts

As a tenant or analytics admin you can manage all alerts created in the tenant. On the Alerts page in the Administration activity center, you can:

  • Delete alerts.
  • Disable alerts (this turns off scheduled evaluation).
  • Re-enable disabled alerts.
  • Change the owner of an alert.

    The new owner must have access to the relevant app. If the alert has multiple recipients, the new owner must have Professional or Full User entitlement.

    Information noteIf the app uses section access and the new owner lacks access to the data used in the alert, the alert will not be evaluated for them. It will still be evaluated for other owners with the necessary access.

Managing your own alerts

You can change settings for alerts that you own or subscribe to from the Analytics activity center. For more information, see Managing your alerts.
