Set job execution alerts
In the EDC application, a job is an automated process intended to perform various tasks on your behalf, such as data transmission to an external server. Once the job is created and associated with the sponsors' predefined server, the system starts performing on its own.
Since job execution is automated and the users are no longer directly involved, it is important to have a notification system to stay tuned to the job statuses and processes. In EDC, you can set up alerts for server updates and data extraction. These alerts are sent via email and contain all the needed details. This helps keep the personnel in charge of handling the data to be aware of all the developments and supports timely and uninterrupted business processes.
Before getting to the alert setting procedure, ensure that the respective alert is already added in EDC.
Important
To set job execution alerts, you must have the Write permission for the respective job category granted to your user role via ADMIN.
