A user wants to receive daily notifications of the number shown on the card visual.

  • C. Create a subscription.
  • D. Tag the user in a comment.
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
You can subscribe yourself and your colleagues to the report pages, dashboards, and paginated reports that matter most to you. Power BI e-mail subscriptions allow you to:
✑ Decide how often you want to receive the emails: daily, weekly, hourly, monthly, or once a day after the initial data refresh.
✑ Choose the time you want to receive the email, if you choose daily, weekly, hourly, or monthly.
Note: Email subscriptions don't support most custom visuals. The one exception is those custom visuals that have been certified.
Email subscriptions don't support R-powered custom visuals at this time.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Set data alerts to notify you when data in your dashboards changes beyond limits you set.

The correct answer is C. Create a subscription. The requirement is to receive daily notifications of the number shown on the card visual. By using subscription, it can send an email with an image of the report which contains the number shown on the card visual. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-report-subscribe For data alerts, although it can also send an notification daily, it will only send the notification unless the threshold hit. Well, you may use a very tricky way to set a threshold of > 0 to force it to send alert. However, the notification sent by data alert contains only the change in text but the requirement is notifications with number shown on the card visual, which is the dashboard itself. So, C. Create a subscription. is the correct answer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts

Another think is that the data alert is sent to the one who creates it, you can't set data alert to be send to other users

Totally agree with you. Subscription will send notification to client on a daily basis, regardless of how data changed. Data Alert only sends notification when data reaches the threshold that we set.

It is data Alert. You cannot subscribe to ONE single tile, the fact that they are focused on the single KPI Visual means it is a data alert. You can set the frequency of the alert to no more than every 24 hours.

It should be a data alert. For a dashboard there is no preview in the e-mail
