Job notifications inform NetMRI administrators when a job they've created completes execution, requires approval, or gets approved by their administrator. NetMRI generates notifications for both successful job executions and for job failure issues.  
To define a Job notification, do the following:

1. Click the** Settings** icon > **Notifications** > **Subscriptions** to begin creating notifications.
2. Click **Add** **Notification**.
3. <span style="color: #000000">In the</span><span style="color: #000000"> </span>**Category**<span style="color: #000000"> </span><span style="color: #000000">drop-down menu</span>, choose **Job**.
4. Choose the **Job** **Status**: **All**, **Requiring** **Approval**, **Approved**, or **Completed**.
5. Choose one or more **Device** **Groups** that will trigger notifications of the specified issues.
6. Choose the **Method** by which admins will receive Job notifications: **Email**, **SNMP** **Trap,** or **Syslog**.
  - For **Email**: select the **To** **Users** to receive the notification. (Administrators can send notifications to anyone.  
Non-administrative users can send notifications only to themselves.)
  - Specify additional **To** **email** **address(es)** if needed. Separate multiple e-mail addresses by commas.  
Email notifications require the correct SMTP servers to be configured in the appliance to support sending the notifications to their destinations.

  - If necessary, click **Edit**** Schedule** to specify a schedule for the summary e-mail notification, or deactivate the **Summarize** checkbox to receive all notifications for each individual system alert.  
The **Summarize** checkbox sends a digest email of the system alerts for the selected category, providing a way to reduce email quantities sent to administrators' inboxes.
  - To manage notification email settings in more detail: click the **Advanced ****Settings** button to override default settings for sender information, message type, message subject, message content, and details.

If you select **Plain****Text** as the message body, the HTML formatting is erased in the notification email.
  - For **SNMP**** Trap**: override the default **Server(s)** by entering a new IP address.
  - For **Syslog**: If necessary, override the default **Server(s)** and **Message**.
