This would piggy back on the Alert system that I hear is in progress. However, it would be an intermediate layer between and Email/Text Alert and the Passive Dashboard usage.
Applicable for Webplayer, Mobile, & Desktop Developer Client.
Selecting the notification will result in Opening and or navigating the web player where the Alert or Rule is met, Changing Tabs, Markings or Selections or maybe even filters so the Alert is visible.
The main point of this would be to draw users the area that has met some user defined criteria in the dashboard and aid in Spotting the Fire.
Would be even more useful in dashboards that have live streaming data.
