One way to see an alert in the Alerts view of the business dashboard is to have the number of shipped orders less than 85 percent of the total number of orders. To achieve this, process one rejected order before you add another process instance. Then go to the Create a dashboard section of this tutorial and create a dashboard to view the alerts.
