Assign a notification profile

Use this procedure to assign a notification profile to documents.

Notification profiles will send notifications when specific events occur in the document life cycle. Notifications are sent according to defined notification profiles. Notification profiles specify which events generate notifications (document arrives, prints successfully, prints on failover destination, or is in error state), the type of notification for each event (email or pop-up), the text of notifications for each event, and who should get notified. For example, you can configure a pop-up to display after a document prints successfully.

    This opens the Set Notification Profile dialog box.
