Alert Conditions and Bookmarks

[Anonymous]

I must be missing something.....I know how to create an Alert and associate a Bookmark with it, but how do I create a Bookmark, and therfore the Alert, when the data doesn't exist in my data set yet?

For example, I need an Alert that tells me when an order for a particular product, by a particular customer, gets loaded into my data set. But this condition is rare, hence the need for an Alert. So the customer/product combination doesn't exist when I'm trying to create the Bookmark and Alert. Catch 22?

You don't have to use bookmark.  Use a condition, something like this:

Customer = 'John Doe' & Product = 'QlikView Server ver 13.0'

(A little more complex than that, but I hope it gives you the idea)
