Self Service Alerting – User Benefits

Create data alerts from within reports • • • Users create alerts directly on the data they see in reports Report authors control which data is available for alerting Supports reports created in Report Builder or BI Development Studio (BIDS) Detect important data changes • • • Intuitive Alert Rules (greater than, before/after) Easy to use scheduling (weekly, daily, monthly) Relevant data included in Alert Message Source: Data.gov - Data.gov and the Federal Government cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from Data.gov.

Self Service Alerting – IT Benefits

Managed through SharePoint • • • • Per site administration reduces IT burden Fine grained authorization Self-managed through SharePoint IT Visibility & Control of user-defined alerts ©2011 Quest Software, Inc. All rights reserved..
