Reviewing Notification Profiles

Notification Profiles

Notification profiles specify when task-related notifications are sent and the recipients for the notifications.

Notification profiles are created within a template that can be selected for use by any task in that template or in project created from the template.

You can access the Notification Profile area in a template by navigating to the Tasks tab.

Choose Actions > Notification Profiles.

You can select an existing notification profile and then click Edit or Delete or you can select New to create a brand new notification profile.

The following settings are available within a notification profile:

  • Send pending notification ____ day(s) before due date to _____
  • Send reminders every ____ day(s) thereafter Send overdue notification ____ day(s) after due date to ____
  • Send reminders every ____ day(s) thereafter Send task complete notification to _____

The blanks represent values that you, as the administrator, can select.

For example, the first setting might read: Send pending notification 7 days before the due date to Task Owner.
