A few entries arrive and I click on the Save As button and my only options are: Report<BR /> Dashboard Panel<BR /> ----------------------------<BR /> Event Type</P> <P>(I would include a picture but I don't have enough "karma points".)</P> <P>From what I researched, there should be an Alert option below Dashboard Panel included in this area but there is no option given. </P> <P>Please let me know how to create Alerts since this option isn't available within the "usual" method or a way to make the Alert option appear in the Save As drop down menu.</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:45:23 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Why-can-t-I-find-the-place-to-create-an-alert/m-p/130535#M2054 PVBsupport 2014-09-18T14:45:23Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Why-can-t-I-find-the-place-to-create-an-alert/m-p/130536#M2055 <P>Does your user role have the schedule_search capability? You can see in Settings &gt; Access Controls &gt; Roles, click on your role and find the list of capabilities down the page.</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:09:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Why-can-t-I-find-the-place-to-create-an-alert/m-p/130536#M2055 ChrisG 2014-09-18T15:09:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/Why-can-t-I-find-the-place-to-create-an-alert/m-p/130537#M2056 <P>Hi Chris,</P> <P>Thanks for your suggestion.
