Flex Modes Alerts: enhanced alerts and subscriptions

Updates to alerting and subscriptions in Flex Modes make it easier to monitor important values, share insights and notify the right people when things need attention.

  • Create alerts on any value column
    Set alerts on any value column, including calculation columns. Choose whether higher or lower values are better, set thresholds, and get notified when values reach a red, yellow, or green status—or move between statuses.

  • See what needs attention faster
    Alerts appear on your homepage by default, with optional email notifications. When multiple alerts trigger at once, Phocas combines them into one email, sorted from red to green, with alert descriptions for added context.

  • Share insights through improved subscriptions
    Flex Modes subscriptions make it easier to stay on top of key updates with flexible scheduling, bundled emails, and secure report downloads.

Flex Modes analysis: deeper analysis and more customized report creation

Flex Modes updates make Analytics even more powerful, helping you move from high-level results to the transactions behind them and continue analyzing without losing context.

  • Dig into transaction detail
    Open transaction-level detail from the Transaction view, Mode menu or a grid cell. Your filters and selections carry through, so you can investigate without starting again.

  • Build deeper analysis in context
    Add transaction properties, dimensions and dimension properties to your view, then nest data to understand the relationships behind a number. This creates more context for reporting and helps you build deeper analysis without leaving your view.

  • More control, better insights
    New controls for comparisons, filtering, calculations, conditional formatting, transactions and exports help you move faster, keep context in view and get to insights with fewer clicks.
