When BarTender generates an error or warning message, you can have an email message delivered to your inbox that notifies you of its occurrence. The message information includes the following details (sections), in this order: Date, Time, Message Number, Message Type, Message Category, Response to Message, and Message Body.
When setting up these alerts, you can specify one of the following delivery formats:
-
Text Report: Each message section appears as separate line.
-
Tab Delimited: Each message section is separated by a tab character.
-
Comma Delimited: Each message section is separated by a comma.
-
Quote and Comma Delimited: Each message section is enclosed in quotation marks and separated by a comma.
To receive alerts, you must configure the outgoing mail server and specify one or more recipients by using the Alert Setup dialog.
