Note : You cannot modify the above settings if the Customization package is disabled on your QMetry instance.
(B) eSignature tab
This tab is enabled only for eSignature enabled projects.
In eSignature enabled projects, users get notified via email on specific events like Review/Request Change/Approval/Closure of requirement, test case and test runs. The email notification settings are provided for eSignature-enabled projects to allow project administrators to enable or disable forced notifications on events like review, approval, closure, or a request change. The settings are applied at Project level.
Use Case: Some organizations have large number of requirements/test cases/test runs that are under the review/approval/closure workflow. And consequently, the large numbers of email notifications are sent to all the users of the review/approval level, which spam their inbox. Hence, Project admins want to control the email notifications and disable it for desired events.
→ Required Permissions: Notification “View” and “Modify” permissions are required to configure the Notifications settings. Role based user access control for the module is managed under Customization > Roles.
Steps
1. Go to Customization > Notifications.
2. Open the eSignature tab.
You can see the list of Events and their Notification Description. The events are categorized under Requirement, Test Case and Test Suite headings.
The last column Action has a toggle option to enable/disable the email notification for that particular event.
3. Apply email notification settings as required.
Enable Notification for Individual Events: You can turn the toggle option for the event On or Off for individual events as per your requirement of notifying the users.
Enable Notification for All Events at a time: You can also enable all the events under the main category in one go by enabling the toggle option of the main category.
