You can base an e-mail rule on the contents of fields or
queries. Use the Rule Controls page of the
Submit Email_Rule window.
Procedure
To specify
the fields or queries on which to base the e-mail rule:
- Log on to the Rational® ClearQuest® client
as a user with the schema designer or super user privilege.
- In the Rational ClearQuest client,
click and select the Email_Rule record
type.
- On the Rule Controls page,
specify a name for the e-mail rule, for example, New Submissions.
- Select the record type on which to base
the e-mail rule, for example, Defect.
- Select the fields to check for changes. When the selected fields change, an e-mail message is sent.
To send an e-mail message whenever a new defect is submitted, you
do not need to select any fields. For other types of e-mail rules,
you might select fields such as Headline, State, or Owner.
- For Filter Query,
you can select a public query to use as an additional trigger for
sending an e-mail message. An e-mail message is sent only
when a user modifies a record that meets the query criteria. For example,
if you select a query that finds all records associated with a beta
release, an e-mail message is sent when a user modifies a record that
included that query.
For this example e-mail rule,
you do not need to select a filter query.
- Select the Active Rule check
box. To temporarily disable an e-mail rule, clear this check box.
- For Operator, you
can select And or Or.
The Operator works on the following fields on the Rule
Controls page:
- Fields to Check for Change
- Filter Query
The Operator also works on the following fields on the Action
Controls page (see Specifying action controls for e-mail rules):- Actions
- Action Types
- Source States
- Destination State
If you select And, an e-mail message
is sent only if all conditions specified in these fields are met.
If you select Or, an e-mail message is sent
if any condition specified in these fields is met.
