An alert is sent when the job conditions meet the criteria selected for the alert. The threshold and notification criteria determine when and at what frequency alerts are generated. Alerts can be configured globally or they can be job-based. For information on alerts, see Alerts and Notifications - Overview.
Each job can have one alert. If an alert exists for the job, the Add Alert option is not available.
