Enabling Instant Notifications on a New Item

Overview

Once instant notifications are enabled as described in Configuring Email Settings, a check box displays for selection in assessments, requests and tasks. When the box is selected and the item is saved, an email is instantly sent to the user in the Assessor field for assessments and to the user in the Assignee field for tasks and requests..

In addition, this check box displays when editing the assignee on an existing request or task, as well as when editing the assessor on an existing assessment.
