Setting Alerts on OD4B files
Are alerts supposed to work on OD4B? The option to set alerts is not in the new UI, if you switch to Classic OD and turn the Ribbon on you can set them, but they don't seem reliable. Thanks - Greg
Hmmm ... that is not what I see. I only see the New control when I do NOT have a file selected. When I select a file I see: Share, Get a link, Download, Delete, Move to, Copy to, Rename, Version history. Screen snip attached.
I attached the screenshot to my last post, but that means you have to download it and open it. Let me see.. do I insert a photo? Do I just paste it in here. Let me try pasting it.
Ok - I used 'Insert a Photo' to get the screen snip here.
I would love to know what is going on with Alerts in OD4B. Greg
I'm seeing what you are seeing, no Alerts.
My feeling is that they are pushing us to use Delve to find out what is changing in Office365 and not via e-mail Alerts.
Right now I can set them but I have to switch to classic and select show ribbon. Even so, I am not sure they are reliable, and I haven't had a chance to get methodical about my approach to testing this. I just modified a file as one account and checked the other account (the one which set the alert) to see if I got email.
- Mmm...very strange I think alerts were in the new UI, but they are not now
