Alert configuration
Jobs are automated processes that can be set up to perform various tasks in the EDC application on your behalf, for instance, regularly extract data from various reports and land it to the external server of your choosing. Instead of manually triggering such tasks, you can create and schedule jobs for task execution. Thus, you can save your time and effort and minimize the risks of possible human error.
Since job execution is automated and the users are no longer directly involved, it is important to have an alert system to stay tuned to the job statuses and processes. These alerts are sent via email and contain all the needed details. In the EDC application, alerts can be set for server updates and data extraction.
