I have created a new documentation page to address this. It is online here: http://fossology.org/fossology_analysis_agents Please let me know if there is more information we should include here in future. >> Question3: In your instruction, it says we can use 'email notify' in >> fossology1.0, and when "edit User", we can choose "check to enable >> email notification of completed analysis".

I looked in the documentation and I did not find anyplace that said "email notify" was available in 1.0.0. Alice, can you provide a link if this was found in the online documentation? It is definitely available in version 1.1.0 but not before. I'm sorry for the confusion.
