Receiving alerts when data meets certain conditions: Push notifications for Android

You can configure MicroStrategy to send you an alert on your Android devicewhen 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 application is not running. For information on setting up push notifications, see Configuring MicroStrategy Mobile for Android to Receive Push Notifications in the MicroStrategy Mobile Administration Help.
