By adding yourself to the alert list for a report, you receive an email notification when new versions of the report output are saved. In this way, you can monitor changes in the output of reports that are of interest to you.
In the email, you are included as a Bcc recipient. The email contains a link to the latest report output.
Being on the alert list is independent of any distribution lists associated with the report.
You can view and manage the alert list for a report as a watch item.
You can add yourself only once to the alert list for a report.
Before you can add yourself to an alert list for a report, the report owner must enable the alert list. To receive alerts, you must have an email address defined in the My Preferences, Personal tab or in your LDAP security profile (used only in special circumstances).
