Creating an Alert from a Grid or a Chart View

This is a simple way to create an alert condition.

  1. In the grid view, select the statistic for which you want to create an alert. You can select a particular cell, row, or column within the grid.

  2. Select a cell in the grid view or in a row in the data editor in the chart view. The context menu that opens includes the following options:
    • Define Alert: Opens a window to define a new alert condition.
    • Edit Alert: Opens a window to edit an existing alert condition.
    • Remove Alert: Removes the existing alert from the associated statistics.
    • Add to Custom Graph: Adds the selected alert condition to a custom graph.
  3. Choose Define Alert. A dialog box opens, where you can specify the following conditions and actions that characterize the alert.

     You can create an alert on a selection in a grid or a chart only after the test starts. However, you can create an alert at any time from Setup Views (refer to Creating an Alert from Setup Views).

    • Name. Enter the name of the alert condition.

If the condition is created after an existing condition, you need to choose an operand between the two conditions. If there is more than one condition, then Combine with previous condition using is enabled. Choose OR or AND.
