Setting notifications


The Notifications tab of Task Editor allows you to set an optional notification of successful and failed task execution. This ability allows you to be informed about each task execution. You can choose between net send, system application log and e-mail notifications.

Note: You can also use macronames (#START, #STOP, #RESULT) in the text of e-mail notification:

#START is the actual time when task started;
