List Update Notification

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to notify the user each time a list is updated.

In my case, there is a list named "cost elements" whose list items might change; the user checks the boolean of the list items belonging to the subset he is supposed to use.

It would be nice to add an alert, maybe a KPI, every time the list changes. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance,

Luca

  • Hi Luca,

    One of the ways to make it work is to create a Snapshot of current data:


    1. Have a module with Cost Elements as dimension.

    2. Create a boolean line item i.e. "Snapshot Data".

    3. Every time BEFORE the process that adds new items to Cost Elements runs, import "TRUE" to "Snapshot Data" line item.

    4. Create a saved view for this module which shows the rows that have "Snapshot Data" set to "FALSE"

    Then, just publish the saved view to the UX.

    Hope this helps 😅
