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 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.
The alert list is independent of any distribution lists associated with the report.
To grant permission for an alert list, you must have write permission.
In Reporting Center, click the set properties button next to the report for which you want to enable an alert list.
On the Report tab for Report Studio reports, or the Query tab for Query Studio reports, click Advanced options, and then click the Enable alerts about new versions check box.
Click OK.
Users can now add their names to the alert list for notifications of the report outputs.
