Step 5:  Email Alerts

This step is optional.

An email alert notifies recipients when a certain type of event occurs, for example, session abort, host failure, system alert.  The Email Alerts page displays a list of email alerts that have been applied to the job.  When you first create a job, this list is empty.  Email alerts are defined in Preferences and can then be applied to multiple jobs of the same type.
