Description
Returns TRUE if the alert is enabled.
Arguments
alertName is the name of an alert (in quotation marks) that you've already created. Locate the available alerts in the Alert Names list.
Returns
Boolean value indicating whether or not the alert is enabled.
To enable or disable an existing alert, click Create Alerts on the Report Menu. Select the desired alert and click Edit. In the Edit Alert dialog box, select or clear the Enabled option.
Examples
If IsAlertEnabled("myAlert") Then
AlertMessage("myAlert")
Else
"myAlert is disabled"
Use this formula to display a message that lets report users know whether or not an alert is enabled. For instance, open the sample report called Alerting.rpt. Create the formula, replacing "myAlert" with "Sales" (which is the name of the alert in the sample report). Then drag the formula field into the Report Header section. By default, the Sales alert is enabled, so its alert message will appear in the Report Header. If you disable the alert (in the Edit Alert dialog box), the message displayed in the report will change to the "disabled" message that you specified in the formula.
Comments
Any formula that references an alert becomes a print time formula.
