2. Select the channel from the Notification Channel drop-down list. In this example SMTP is chosen as the Channel.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter a template name in Template Name field.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the Notification Type for the reports based on the report's SUCCESS or the FAILURE.
5. You can also add parameter by selecting the relevant parameters from the Add Params drop-down list.
   
   
   
   NOTE:
   Criteria Value - This parameter will get applied only for the instance that gets generated via report bursting based on the value chosen in 'Generate for Criteria/Group' field. If Individual Criteria is chosen, that criteria value will get applied. If Criteria Group is chosen, the corresponding Criteria Group mapping name will get applied. This parameter is available both in short and long messages. 
   Refer Configuring a report bursting , for detailed information on 'Generate for Criteria/Group' field.

   1. Once the failure notification template is configured, click the Save  icon to save it.
