Issue/Introduction

NOTE: In order for this function to work the setting for sending email alerts must be setup under "Settings > All Settings > Notification Server > Notification Server Settings"

When software is requested in the portal a box pops up called 'Request Confirmation'. Along with some options, such as the ability to add a comment, there is a section called 'Email Options.' There are two boxes called:

Send an email when the request status changes

Send an email when comments are added

When these boxes are checked, and the portal admin approves the software and either adds a comment or changes the status of the request, no email is sent.
