Define what email notifications that will be sent when various steps in the business process are triggered |
Before you create the objective pages from the templates, you need to define the email notifications that will be sent when various steps in the business process are triggered. To enable this functionality, you need to configure email notification options on the Objective Pages page. On this page the system lists the email notification options that a user can select to enable certain functionality. The system selects all notification options as the default.
Use the Objective Pages page (EP_INSTALL_OBJ) to define what email notifications that will be sent when various steps in the business process are triggered.
