Notifications

The Notifications page of the Preferences dialog box allows users to set up automated job completion notification. Users can choose to be notified via pop-up, the Event History view, or both. Pop-ups appear at the bottom right corner of the Topaz Workbench. The Event History view, if not visible, can be opened from the Window menu by selecting Show View>Other>Host Explorer>Event History.
