I have SharePoint 2010 site and I want to set an alert on custom library custom view (library is filled with document-sets). As I searched for this problem, in this post are mentioned few requirements (which I think, are fulfilled):

1) "It must have a where clause" - my desired view have sorting and filtering.

2) "It must be a public view" - so it is!

3) "It cannot involve content approval" - done!

But in the end, I do not have possibility to create alert for view. When creating alert, in section "Send alerts for these changes" I do not have an option "Someone changes an item that appears in the following view:" and do not have a dropdown with possible views to choose from.

What could be the problem and how to set an alert for custom library custom view?

Your view has to contain a filter and only some types of columns will work for the view-based alerts. Check this answer for column types: Alerts on List based on Items shown in View not working

Have you considered creating a workflow that runs on create/change and uses IF statements that match your view filters?

  • I have, but alerts suits better for my situation - workflow will be my plan-B, if this problem will not be resolved. Besides - I want to know, why this problem exist and how to solve it!
