Alerts with filtering capabilities

GIriarte

I would like to see if we are able to set up an alert applying a filter.

 

Let's say we want to get an alert if the Summary Number decrease by 10 % but only for the Atlanta Branch or, with a different function/additionally, if you can allow us to set up an alert to notify us if the rule apply for a particular Branch and then in what Branch it happens.

Thank you for submitting this @GIriarte.  I am assigning to our product manager @mdelorey for review.

Hey @GIriarte: Thanks for submitting. I'm the product manager for alerts here at Domo. I wanted to make sure I understand what you're looking to do.

 

I see a bar chart in your screenshot, but I can't see the access. Is the x-axis grouped by date? Grouped by Branch?

This is definitely something I think would be a HUGE gain in user engagement.  The concept of being alerted by Domo when X is true is extremely powerful, and was a key differentiation point for Domo when I was reviewing software platforms.

 

That said, the current functionality around alerts is somewhat inflexible.  As the card designer, I have to build cards specifically for the kinds of alerts that GIriarte discusses above.  This just adds to the set of cards a user has to browse to find answers... more cards = more places where what you are looking for isn't.

 

Here's an example from my use case: (difficult to impossible to provide this now)

 

I have 65 branch locations, and about 1,500 suppliers.  If a user wants to be alerted when the Nashville branch reaches $1M in sales of General Electric.  The card I need to build to support an alret like this is ugly...  It would be so much easier to have a total sales card, maybe a bar chart (doesn't matter), and the ability to add filters for Branch = 'Nashville' and Supplier = 'General Electric'.  This would also permit users to really harness the value of alerts and add additional criteria!

 

• The upside is increase usage of alerts 
• Decrease in the number of cards to satisfy user needs
• Increased user engagement in Domo

@mdelorey please let me know if I can help clarify this further.

@swagner: Nailed it. We've got some features currently in development for this type of capability. How'd you feel about taking a look at what we've got so far and giving us your feedback?

 

@GIriarte: You're welcome to take a look as well.

 

And anyone else who comes across this Idea and would like to take a look and get set up for early access once it's available.

 

Just direct message me if you're interested with your name, email, and a couple of time slots that would work. Thanks for all your feedback!

swagner

Yes @mdelorey, I'd be happy to help.

GIriarte

Absolutely Yes. Let me know.

Hi,

 

We have the same need here as we would need to filter the alert on a based certain group of product. It seems based on comments I read in this thread that your current development should do it.

 

Thanks

Any new developments on this?

@btm

 

Can we get this reassigned to a new product manager and provide an update?

 

Thanks

This would be extremely helpful for us too! We have a card that shows the number of timecard edits per department. I received a request from one of our Domo users to set up an alert for her for whenever a department goes above a certain number of edits. We only want this alert for one division, but there is currently no option for me to set up one alert for any time a department in one specific division goes above the threshold...setting up an individual alert for each cost-code/department that "Triggers when Department A is greater than 10" is far too time consuming and cumbersome.

@kbota,

 

Thanks for your comment!

 

@JSharp please take ownership of this idea which has some great suggestions for Domo.

Dani

Is this still in development? Seems we've run into a similar scenario.
