Strategy ONE

Receiving alerts when data meets certain conditions: Push notifications

You can configure MicroStrategy to send you an alert on your iPad when a metric on a report meets a specific condition. For example, you can choose to receive an alert if the Profit data in a report drops below $50,000. These alerts are called push notifications, and can be received even if the MicroStrategy iPad application isn't running. For information on setting up push notifications, see the Strategy Mobile Administration Help.

Turning alerts on or off

You can turn alerts on or off using the application's Settings screen.
