In QAComplete, there are three standard types of email alerts:
-
Assignment alerts – Notify you when things are assigned to you or when something assigned to you is changed.
-
Ownership alerts – Notify you when something owned by you is changed.
-
All changes – Notify you when any changes are made.
To manage which email alerts you receive, go to Home > Email Alerts. Here you can browse the available alert types and toggle specific alerts on or off.
