The node that you should select depends upon which set of email notification options you want to set:

•

Project level email notification settings—To specify Project Level email notification settings, select the root node in the workflow phase and step list (which is the project name). You can then specify email notification settings for the Data Submitted/Rejected, Issue Submitted, Issue Responded, Workflow Status Changed, and SLA at Risk/Failed events.

•

Workflow phase/workflow step level email notification settings—To specify Phase/ Step Level email notification settings, select a workflow phase, workflow step, data group, or data element. You can then specify email notification settings for the Initiated, Rolled Back, Edited, or Completed events.

Note: Selections you make on a workflow phase/data group are inherited by their child workflow steps/data elements, but these settings can be overridden.

Role / Permission / Receive Email List

Root Node Selected

When the root node is selected (which is the project name), email notification settings for the entire project can be set. You can choose to send an email to the listed role when any of the following events occur:

•

Data Submitted/Rejected

•

Issue Submitted

•

Issue Responded

•

Workflow Status Changed

•

SLA at Risk/Failed

To select all check boxes in a column, click the check box in the column header.

Note: You can use the Email Settings Administration Page to select the default email settings that will be used for each new project.

Role / Permission / Receive Email List

Workflow Phase/Step Selected

When any of the phase or step nodes are selected, the Receive Email notification settings appear.

For each workflow phase, select those roles that you want to be notified when any of the following events occur:

•

Initiated—Phase or step initiated

•

Rolled Back—Phase or step rolled back to

•

Edited—Phase or step edited

•

Completed—Phase or step completed

To set a permission for a workflow step that is different from the permission for the associated workflow phase, do the following:

Select the workflow step in the tree control on the left.The check boxes in the Permission / Receive Email list are disabled.

Next to the Role that you want to edit, click the lock icon to unlock the check boxes. You are notified that the role permission is inherited from the parent item and asked to confirm that you wish to stop this inheritance.

Click OK. The check boxes are now enabled.

Make desired selections in the Initiated, Rolled Back, Edited and Completed columns.

Note: To specify default email settings for all new projects, see Setting Email Notification Defaults for All New Projects.
