Other changes

Agent Notify email address now a mandatory field

This field can contain one or more email addresses (separated with a comma) to receive an alert from Highlight should the agent go off-line or stop responding. Notify fields on any existing agents will not be changed by the upgrade to 19.8 but completion of this field with a relevant email address is highly recommended to ensure the agent gets prompt attention if down.
