Why do I keep refreshing the same tile by hand?
What you'll have at the end
One threshold alert, tested against real history and reaching whoever actually owns the decision, that fires the moment the KPI crosses its line instead of you opening the dashboard to check.
You need
A single KPI tile on an existing dashboard, the number you're the one refreshing by hand, plus a stretch of its past daily readings and access to your dashboard tool's alert settings.
Not covered
Anomaly-detection alerts that learn a shifting baseline with machine learning, rather than the fixed number this recipe builds by hand.
Rebuilding a refresh schedule that keeps burning your team's trust
An alert can only be as fresh as the data behind it; if the tile's refresh is late or unreliable, fix that first or the threshold will never feel trustworthy.
Give every dashboard KPI a target, an owner, and a trend line
This recipe assumes the KPI already has an agreed normal range and a named owner; settle those first if the tile doesn't have them yet.
