The **Monitor** feature acts like your early warning system in SystemView. Instead of waiting until a problem becomes visible, you can set a monitoring goal on any chart series and let the system track it for you. Want to keep activity levels steady, make sure key standards aren’t slipping, or get notified the moment performance drops? Monitor keeps a constant eye on your data and sends you alerts when thresholds are crossed - so you can respond quickly and stay in control. See [What is MyView? ›](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/knowledge/what-is-myview) for background. 💡**When to use this feature:** Use Monitor when you want to maintain performance standards or KPIs and get ahead of risks before they escalate. --- ### **Setting up a monitor goal** 1. In **Explore**, navigate to the component and chart you want to use. 2. Click the **Activate** button in the top-right corner of the chart. ![Activate-2](https://academy.healthcarelogic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Activate-2.png?width=19&height=19&name=Activate-2.png) 3. Select the series or trendline you want to monitor. 4. Click **Monitor **at the bottom of the chart. 5.

Click **Save**. Your goal will now be saved in **Interact \> MyView \> Monitor**, where you can see performance against your defined standard. --- ### **How to delete a monitor goal** To remove a monitoring goal, go to **Interact \> MyView**, hover over the chart on the **Monitor** shelf, and click the red **X** in the top-right corner.
