General Tab
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | Description of the notification |
| Effective from | Date from which onwards the notification is active. Note. If the set date is in the past, the engine will however handle ALL cases meeting the criteria from that moment on until the present date |
| Schedule | Sets whether the notifications are sent "As soon as possible" or "Every Sunday". With option "As soon as possible" each email is sent individually and immediately once trigger condition is met, and with option "Every Sunday" a single email will contain all notifications |
| Notification type | Type can be one of the regulator tests/checks. This determines how the PDF being sent is populated and also that the email content is generated respectively |
| Notification event | The “trigger event” for the notification. The notification can be triggered with six different types of events: Qualification / All qualifications / Template / Template collection / Overall grade / EBT grade |
| Qualifications/Templates/Grades | Select qualification(s), template(s), template collection(s) or grades (overall grade or EBT grade) which trigger notification. If "All qualifications" is selected from notification event, then this selection is disabled |
Triggering notification for selected Overall grades
To create notification for certain Overall grades, first select the notification event "Overall grade" and then select one or multiple overall grades, which trigger the notification.
In the example above, notification is triggered for Overall grades "Fail". The recipient of this notification will receive an email containing the PDF version of the assessment.
Triggering notification for selected EBT grades
To create notification for certain EBT grades, first select the notification event "EBT grade" and then select one or multiple EBT grades, which trigger the notification.
In the example above, notification is triggered for EBT grades "Fail". The recipient of this notification will receive an email highlighting the EBT grade(s) which triggered this condition, and PDF version of the assessment.
To configure email subject and recipients, click "Email" tab on the notification
Email Tab
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Email subject | Leave empty for default notification, or insert custom subject for the email. See below for "smart tags" for configuring email subject with dynamic text |
| Email addresses | Comma-separated list of email addresses, to which the notifications will be sent |
| Additional recipients | Notification can be sent also to the trainee or instructor, or both |
| Email attachment | Either Operator or Regulator PDF can be attached to the notification email |
Smart tags for email subject:
- $TRAINEELICENCENO - Trainees pilot license number
- $TESTDATEYYYYMMDD - Assessment date in YYYYMMDD format

- $TRAINEELASTNAME - Trainee's last name
- $TRAINEEFIRSTNAME - Trainee's first name
- $ASSESSMENTNAME - Assessment name
- $ACTYPE - Aircraft type
For example, inserting "$ASSESSMENTNAME for $TRAINEEFIRSTNAME $TRAINEELASTNAME on $TESTDATEYYYYMMDD" to email subject in notification, would result in following email subject "B757 Proficiency Check for John Doe on 20170218"
"$ACTYPE" smart tag searches for aircraft type value first from Form Type Editor field "FLD_AEROPLANE_TYPE". If this is not found, it will search for A/C Type of the facility which is selected for the assessment.
