Alert Without Parent Row

Nancy Skoulphong

Hello, Is there a way to sent an alert without including the parent row? I have looked in the community and help articles and cannot find a thread that answer the question. Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, you can use the placeholder feature and hide everything except one column that has to be included in the alert.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Is it possible to simply have Parent rows as a selectable option yes/no to include in Alerts?

The standard table presents a neat way of displaying data rather than as paragraph text that results from the placeholder workaround. Having the Parent detail there in the table if it's irrelevant is not necessary.

Hi @TR

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!
