Scheduling Services Configuration

The Scheduling Services Configuration page works with the database to create alerts, tasks, and reminders within the RL6 application.

Prerequisites: You must have the "Services Configuration" role permission in order to access this page.

To configure alert service settings:

  1. In the Admin Center page, go to the System Configuration section and click the Scheduling Services Configuration link. The Scheduling Services Configuration page displays all the alert service settings for alerts, tasks, reports, and reminders.
  2. In the main page, change alert service settings as necessary.
  3. Tip: In the Sections panel at the left, select a specific alert service type to navigate to those settings on the main page.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Note: In order to save configuration changes, mandatory fields must not be empty. The changes are saved to the RL6 database if all changes pass the validation checks.

Changes are saved and take effect immediately. There is no need to restart the Alert service.
