Set that up as a favourite row by clicking on the diagonal two-sided blue arrows at the start of each row. When you do that, a pop-up dialogue box will open. On the left side of the dialogue box you can see the symbol of a star. Click on it and now that particular row is marked as a favourite row. Now each time that row is updated, you will receive a notification.
