# Configuring an Alert for a Report on the Command Center

You can set an alert for the data that appears in report tables. In most reports, each condition type represents a column that is visible in the table. Just like the columns in reports, the corresponding alert conditions vary per report. Likewise, the value types that you can set vary per condition.

8. To check the alert conditions you configured, click Test Criteria.

   The results appear in a new tab in your web browser.
