To set an alert notification in cockpit go to Settings > Monitoring settings > Alerts > select Alert > Notification.

You can be notified about an alert occurrence by email or by message in SAP Business Workplace. This can be set in the Alert notification category of this screen. The following fields must be filled:

System ID
Profile
Recipient address – the email address or username from SAP system can be specified.
Type of notification – determines the notification method. Possible values are:
- E-mail – notification is sent to the email specified in Recipient address. The maximum number of characters for an e-mail address is 80, including the domain.
- SAP Office message – notification is sent to the SAP Business Workplace for user who is specified in Recipient addressfield.
- Private distribution list – notification is sent to all addresses defined in SAP Private Distribution List (transaction SO15 or button Distribution list in Insights toolbar).
- Shared distribution list– notification is sent to all addresses defined in SAP Private Distribution List (transaction SO15 or button Distribution list in Insights toolbar).
- BAdI processing - recipient address is treated as is defined in your BAdI implementation and the notification will be sent according to the implementation settings. When you select "BAdI processing" as a type of notification but BAdI ID is not specified, then the Recipient address will be used as the notification email.
BAdI ID – [optional] ID, which will be used for filtering of BAdI call. You can create your own BAdI for notification using BAdI implementation /DVD/MON_BADI_DEF_EVENT. Each BAdI implementation has to define the filter, which is also used for determining explicit call of the BAdI for processing of notification. Default BAdI implementation used for notification has initial BAdI ID.
Alert notification – determines the period for sending of notifications. Possible values are:
- At first occurrence – notify when alert occurs first time
- At next occurrence – notify each occurrence of alert
- At end of alert – notify when alert is completed

Alert definitions with threshold values and KPI associations are possible also directly from cockpit. KPI tree and chart provides functionality to set up thresholds from the context menu. You can find more details under the chapter Insights Monitoring Cockpit (section System and KPI Tree and Working Tabs). But you still have to set up "Alert notification" settings manually as in figure above.
