FormBuilder EMail Alerts

The FormBuilder documentation suggests that e-mail notifications can be sent when a form is submitted.

"The template supports capturing user submissions to the database as well as setting up a list of email addresses for alerts."

Can you provide more specific documentation on how to set this up?
I see a variable called $emails in the template, that appears to contain the alert addresses.
Is there a way to set this on a per-form basis? Or do I need to initialize that variable explicitly in the template, with our email addresses?

Thanks!

Re: FormBuilder EMail Alerts

The template is what handles which emails receive notifications (rather than the Form in the module) -- this is so that you can do things like have one contact form that's re-used for different departments without being recreated each time.
