Creating Email Alerts

Email alerts can be sent to notify users when a certain type of event occurs, for example, session abort, host failure, system alert.  Email alerts are defined globally in Preferences in the Email Alerts page.  You can view, add, edit, and remove alerts.  See Configuring Email Alerts for more information.

When you create a job, you can select an existing email alert to apply to the job or you can create a new alert and apply it to the job.

Note: You cannot modify or delete an email alert when it applied to a job.
