Forms: Email Task

If triggered, an Email Transition creates an Email Task. It allows for specified data be automatically emailed out to a list of recipients. For each Email Task, information is shown across a main Details tab, a Description tab and, optionally, across tabs with an Error Message and the Error Message Details - these appear if an error has occurred when raising the task.

Form: Email Task Details

The following fields are configured on the main form:

This tab will only appear if there has been an error when raising the task. The tab will, in this case, contain the data being processed when the task was raised.

The Email Task list shows all email tasks that have been generated in CenterView.

The Email Task list can be ordered by pressing on the header bar of the column that you wish to sort by. To reverse the sort order, press the header bar again.

The Email Task list can be filtered using the icon. Select an existing filter from the drop down list or create a new one to filter the list.
