Sometimes, there is a business need to get notified when certain conditions are met (these can be positive as well as negative notifications).
For example, let's say you want to get notified by email about every deposit of more than USD 100 (we will create an alert for this specific example later on).
To view the existing alerts, simply click on Alerts in the upper left-hand side menu:
You will get to the Alerts list window, where you can see of all the available alerts, including their statuses.
Alerts only work on scheduled queries without parameters.
