Linking Project to Outlook

Linking Project to Outlook

How do I take information from Project to Outlook? I'd like my colleagues to get reminders from Project to their Outlooks. Do they have to have Project installed as well?

Thanks,

Michaela

RE: linking Project to Outlook

Hi Michaela,

Thank you for your question.

There is no direct way of taking your Project information to Outlook. Project Server is the tool you really need to integrate Project and Outlook. They will need Project.

However if you select a task, turn on the tracking toolbar and click the Bell icon and set the reminder. This reminder will appear as a task in Outlook but will not update automatically.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
