Email Notifications

When saving report results or creating or editing a schedule, you can configure the Email Notification feature to automatically send an email to the Skillport users of your choice, each time the report runs.

About the Recipients

  • Any users with an active Skillport email address can be selected to receive a notification email, regardless of user privileges.
  • Users without a Skillport email address display in red and cannot be selected.
  • If a recipient's email address is subsequently removed from an account, the next time the report runs a warning will display in the Status column of the Results page.
  • The Email Notification feature stores the User ID of selected recipients. Therefore, if a user’s email address changes, the user will receive the email notification at the new address.
  • If the Administrator account you are using to create the report has an email address, your own account is automatically added to the distribution list, but can be removed.

About the Email

  • The email will include a link to the report results.
  • Access to the report is controlled by Skillport user id.
  • If the recipient is already logged into Skillport, the user will have immediate access to the report results.
  • If the recipient is not logged in, the Skillport login interface will display. After login, the user will have access to the results.
  • Only the users selected to receive the link will be able to use it to access the report. 
  • If an unauthorized user attempts to use the link:
    • If the user is already logged in to Skillport, the message, "User is not authorized to download this report" displays.
    • If the user is not logged in to Skillport, the login page will display. After login, the Home page will remain open and the user will not have access to the results.

The Email Notification feature is unchecked by default.
