About the notification events

In the entitlements system, the control point acquires its status that is based on where it lies in the entitlements workflow. The entitlements system lets you configure the notifications that are sent to the data owners who own the control points. The notifications are meant to inform the data owner about the status of the control point. The notifications are sent as an email to the data owner.

You can configure the following types of notifications:
