Automap Notification Enhancements

Summary

Improve the notifications available via email from Automap.

Detailed Description

  1. Currently, if Automap cannot find a source document, it skips generation. This does not produce an error, so you receive a "job completed successfully" email, even though nothing was generated. While technically this is not an error, it is not a 'successful job' either.
  2. It would be nice to include some data from the log in the notification email, e.g. number of warnings.
  3. It would be nice to have more fine tuning on the notifications, e.g. info, warning, error, etc.
  4. It would be nice to be able to use more than one email address, perhaps on a per-job level.

Use Cases

Right now, all emails go to one person. This person has to review all the logs every day (since there's a false positive if files are missing), and then manually forward messages to other writers as appropriate. Yes, I can configured forwarding rules in my email-client, but it would be easier to define an email address per job (perhaps with a global default, if no override is set in the job).

Also, some people want emails only on errors, and others want success and failure. It would be nice to be able to choose.

BenAllums   Thank you for such specific feedback Zoe.  Per job email addresses makes a lot of sense.
