Peter Shanahan:

Hello,

As part of the NOvA DAQ support team, I often find myself composing an email to the team after making an ECL entry, summarizing the issue, and cutting and pasting the link.

It would be great if there were a checkbox in the new entry form for “email this entry”, with a recipient(s) address(s) field. (In my typical use case, the address I would enter would be a mailing list, not a particular ECL member.) I think this would be a better solution than having every message in a given category go to certain addresses, or allowing people to subscribe to certain categories, since the message rate would be too high to be useful. The idea would be to allow those making entries to draw attention to particularly important entries.

Thank you for your consideration,
Peter
