Defining Notification Configuration

To enable Process Status Notifications, you must configure the Notification Settings page. You can enable some or all the states of a process to receive notification. These notification states are set for the notification channels — Email, Notification Window and Pop-up Notification.

Note:

You must select the Pop-up Notification check box on the Notification Settings page to enable editing the pop-up notification settings as part of user preferences. When you configure settings under My Preferences, and then Process Pop-up Notification section, it overrides the configurations set in Run Status Options and Distribution Status Options sections. See Applications User’s Guide: Defining User Preferences .

Access the Notification Settings page (PeopleTools, and then Process Scheduler, and then Process Scheduler Settings, and then Notification Configuration).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Notification Settings page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
