Introduction
This page details the configuration for Notification Templates.
Business and SAP Context
On some occasions when answering an Inspection Question it may be appropriate to have a Notification created. This can be manually initiated by a User; enforced to create in BlueWorx before the Question can be completed; or created based on information gathered automatically on processing in SAP. It's this automatic creation that the Notification template is used for.
