• Defining job notifications — The Job Notifications tab lets you set up notifications that are generated when a scheduled job runs. For more information, see Scheduled Job Notifications tab.
• Providing Approval information — The Approval Information tab lets you provide required approval information. This tab only appears when your system has been configured to require approval for this job type. For more information, see UCS-Provision-Job-Execute-on-Approval-and-Approval-type-settings.
