• Key Concepts: 
  An event in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a type of alert that can be triggered when certain conditions are met. Events can be used to notify users of important changes or trends in their data, or to alert them to potential problems. Events can be set up to trigger when a certain value is reached, when a certain time period has elapsed, or when a certain combination of conditions is met. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create an event in SAC, first select the data source you want to monitor. Then, select the conditions you want to trigger the event. You can choose from a variety of conditions such as value thresholds, time periods, or combinations of conditions. Once you have selected the conditions, you can specify the action that should be taken when the event is triggered. This could include sending an email notification, displaying an alert on the dashboard, or running a script. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up events in SAC, it’s important to consider how often the event should be triggered. If the event is set up to trigger too often, it could become annoying and lead to users ignoring it. On the other hand, if it’s set up to trigger too infrequently, it may not be useful. It’s also important to consider how many events should be set up for each data source. Too many events can lead to confusion and make it difficult for users to keep track of them all.
