Email Alerts

When you create a job, you can select existing email alerts to apply to the job or you can create new email alerts and apply them to the job.  This Preferences page lists the existing email alerts.  From this page, you can view, create, edit, and delete email alerts.  However, you cannot edit or delete an email alert while it is applied to a job.  See Email Alerts in the Basic Concepts section for more information about email alerts.

Note: An SMTP email connection must be configured before email alerts can be sent.  See Email Configuration for information about configuring SMTP email settings.
