Click the image to view full size.

This feature provides the facility to set up automatic notifications by email to system administrators and task owners when selected warnings and errors occur within King Task Centre.

An administrator can configure exactly what notifications are required for the different types of potential occurrences. Administrators and task owners are alerted when an error occurs so that they can assess the situation and take remedial action if required.

The tab is divided into the areas listed below:

Notify system administrators on the following:

This area is divided into two sections:

|  | The Warnings section contains four check boxes allowing selection of Task, Step, System and Security. Checking any of the boxes then includes those warning types in the automatic notification to System Administrators. Users may be assigned as System Administrators through the Server Roles tab of the User Properties dialog box.

|  | The Errors section also contains four check boxes as described above. Checking any of the boxes then includes those Error types in the automatic notification to System Administrators.

Notify task owners on the following

This area is divided into two sections:

|  | The Warnings section contains two check boxes allowing selection of Task and Step. Checking any of the boxes then includes those Warning types in the automatic notification to the Task owner. The Task owner may be specified in the General tab of the Task dialog box.

|  | The Errors section also contains two check boxes as described above. Checking any of the boxes then includes those Error types in the automatic notification to the Task owner.

SMTP

This area is used to configure the connection to an SMTP server that will be used to send the notification. It consists of the following:

|  | Display Name — Enter a display name to be used for notifications. The default is System.

|  | From Address — Enter a valid address from which the notification is to be sent. The default is `alert@system`.

|  | Server Configuration — Opens the SMTP Server Configuration dialog box to enable an SMTP mail server and connection details to be entered. The default details displayed are those entered for the Send Email (SMTP) Tool.

TIP:

If possible, use a different SMTP mail server to that used by the Send Email (SMTP) Tool, as this mail server could be the cause of failure of Tasks using this Tool. To assist with this it is possible to direct the option directly to an ISP or Internet mail account.
