  2. In the menu bar, click Operations..
  3. Open the All Jobs tab, click Settings the settings icon, and then Notifications....

    You see the Job Notifications dialog.

  4. Click New.
    You see the Add Notification dialog:
    Create workflow notification dialog
  5. In the Name field, type More than one copy of a single-sided job.
  6. In the Type list, select Job attribute value has changed.
  7. In the Recipient (comma separation) field, type me@mycompany.com.
  8. In the Property list, select 1 sided / 2 sided.
  9. In the Comparison list, select Equal to.
  10. In the Value list, select Front side (1-sided).
  11. Click Add, the add button.

    You see a second set of Property, Comparison, and Value fields.

  12. In the second Property list, select Copies.
  13. In the second Comparison list, select Greater than.
  14. In the second Value field, type 1.
    Second set of property conditions

    You can see the notification in the Job Notifications dialog:
    Job notifications dialog

    You can manage your job notifications by changing their name and the email address or addresses where you want them sent. Separate the email addresses with commas.

  16. To modify an already existing notification, select it and click Edit.
  17. Change the notification name and the recipient email, then click OK to save the changes.
  18. To create a new notification, either use the New button, or the Copy button. Edit the dialog fields as shown, and save the changes.
  19. To delete a notification, select it and click Delete.
Whenever the properties of a job are changed, TotalFlow Production Manager checks the values of 1 sided / 2 sided and Copies. If both your conditions are true (that is, the job is single-sided and there is more than one copy), you receive an email notification.
