With email alerts, the program can automatically notify application users by email when changes in the database impact them. From the record of an application user, you can manage the email alerts the user receives.
Note: When you enable an alert, the user receives the selected alert type at the email address that appears under Alert settings on the Email preferences tab. If the user does not have an email address entered when you attempt to enable an alert, the Edit alert settings screen appears so you can enter an address for the user. For information about the Edit alert settings screen, see Edit Alert Settings for an Application User.
