1.14.5 Job Notifications

A Job may be configured to send a notification email to a user, a number of specific users, or a whole group of users, each time the Job completes execution. This allows EDQ users to monitor the status of scheduled jobs without having to log on to EDQ.

Emails will also only be sent if valid SMTP server details have been specified in the mail.properties file in the notification/smtp subfolder of the oedq_local_home directory. The same SMTP server details are also used for Issue notifications.

The default notification template - default.txt - is found in the EDQ config/notification/jobs directory. To configure additional templates, copy this file and paste it into the same directory, renaming it and modifying the content as required. The name of the new file will appear in the Notification template field of the Email Notification Configuration dialog.
