Hi

here is link to documentation how to create alerts.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Alert/Definescheduledalerts

With alerts there are basically reports/search which you can use. If you want to send dashboard it's not alert but scheduled send dashboard. There are some restrictions what you could have in dashboard when you want send it with schedule.
