Subscribe to E-mail Notifications

The default notification options are set up when the task is created. You can change your subscriptions for any task with a status of Not Started or Started.

You can choose to receive, or stop receiving, notifications when

  • a task is not started by the start date
  • a task is not completed by the due date
  • the status of a task changes (started, completed or canceled)
  • the owner of a task changes
  • a user comment is added to a task
Note:
  • Notifications are sent to the task owner and copied to all stakeholders.
  • The recipient who changes the status or owner of a task, or adds a user comment, does not receive the associated notification.

  3. Select the appropriate check boxes for the notifications you want to receive, and clear the boxes for those you do not require.
