Messages can be sent to users when the status of tasks in the Workplan change. Messages are sent to the mail server when events are triggered. VPC checks every 2 hours. The admin can force an immediate notification check by clicking on the Force Notifications icon. The process to add a notification is as follows:

• Select the Insert Row button and a new panel will open
• Enter the task #
• Select the trigger from pull down menu (See below)
• Select the target Default maximum size is 512 characters including commas
• Enter the message. Default maximum size is 1,200 characters
• Click on either check to save the notification to the server and close the panel, or double check to save the notification to the server and clear the panel for another notification to be entered.

Cannot edit notification messages that have already been sent. If the suspend notifications box is checked, notifications will not be sent out. When the box is subsequently unchecked, notifications will be sent out if the applicable triggers have been tripped, even though they may be late.
