Setting up alerts/reminders to receive email notifications

Is it possible to set up alerts in MS Projects to receive e-mail notification immediately when some action has occurred with your task or status report.

Also is it possible to configure reminders to receive e-mail notification when your attention is needed on tasks and status reports?

RE: Setting up alerts/reminders to receive email notifications

Hi Lillian,

Thank you for your question.

If you have Project Server running with Microsoft Project, there is a lot more interaction between Outlook and Project.

As far as I am aware, Project does not have the capability to send you automatic email alerts if tasks are delayed or moved.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
