Creating alerts only on a part of items in a document library


Normally alerts are created for all items in  a document library. If you like to create an alert that notifies you on changes related to part of items then create a view that includes only those documents (shown below).

If a metadata column needs to be added to the content type or document library go ahead with it and use it as filter for the view.
Now you will get alerts only on items that are filtered in the view.
