Adding an alert to a panel
When you add an alert to a panel item, you embed a real-time count of recently-triggered alerts.
You also enable one-click access to the Alert History, filtered to show only recent occurrences of the selected alert. For more information about using alerts in panels, see Using panels.
Before you begin
Before you begin this procedure, you should confirm that the alert that you want to add to the panel is both active and marked as a favorite. Visit Make an alert available for panels to know how to do it.
