He has activated the setting Daily notifications via email in his user.


The task Forwarding to line management is set as follows:

Task description: Forwarding to Line Management
Initiated by status: New for Line Management
Initiated (Number of work days after status change): 0

Permission to edit: Tasks for role "Human Resources"

Daily notification via email: Yes


An applicant is set from the status "New" to "New for Line Management" for a job opening where Mr. Example can view applicants.  (Through the right View applications or View applications according to user group)


Result:

Immediately after the status change to New for Line Management, a task appears in the task area. This can be seen by the number next to Tasks in the upper bar.

If the task is not processed on the same day (that means the status of the application is changed to another status), the task will appear in his Daily Notification at around 8 a.m. the next day.
