<li>'''Notification''' (labelled report.scheduling.job.edit.notifications): allows to specify email recipients whom the outputs should be automatically sent to. Specify recipients in '''To''', '''cc''', eventually '''bcc''' of the email, a subject and an email text. Finally, specify whether the email should only contain a link to the report output (in which case the user needs to have an account to log in to MINT) or include the output as an attachment (according to the format(s) specified in the '''Output''' tab; in that case the user does not need any account for MINT).</li>

Note that the job list is always report-specific, i.e. only the jobs for the particular chosen report are displayed - there is no global view of all jobs defined within an organisation.
