External notification of completed action

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

All

In TPM, you have the ability to send an email to yourself when your particular task is completed. This was very helpful for my help desk and other support that used the tool.

I would like to do the same in TEM.

When you create an account, it asks for thier user email. What is this for? Can it be linked to the action status at all?

Anybody in the TEM forum throbbing brain doing anything simular?

Thank Noah

I started looking at web report before I created this topic. The thing is that web reports have a bit too much maintenance overheard, and the ability to send an email for each task and thier status would be more efficient, in this case.

I will continue to tinker with reports, but it would be a nice enhancement.

IBM has a handy enhancement request system, something we didn’t have as BigFix -> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/

I don’t see any RFEs with the keyword email. I would encourage you to log this request in the RFE system.

Here are the three RFEs that turn up when you search with the keyword “action”:

very nice. I’ve already voted and added my comments on a few RFEs that I’ve found.
