    Employee Notifications

    Notifications | Changes in Project Status | Daily Deliverable Status | Estimate Approval | Items to Approve | Missing Time | New Clients | New Opportunities | New Projects | New Spec Sheet | New Vendors | Overbudget by Item | Overbudget by Service | Overbudget Projects | Overbudget Tasks | Overdue Billing Worksheets | Overdue Project Estimates | Overdue Time Sheets | Task Reminders | Updates to Task Information | Resources

    Each person in the system can receive multiple types of notifications automatically from the system. Some notifications are set up automatically such as when a project is added or task information is updated. Other information is sent out in the form of a daily e-mail. Some items included in this e-mail are over budget projects and missing time sheets. Each staff person is subscribed to a notification by an administrator who can edit their employee's settings. An employee can not subscribe themselves without appropriate rights to a notification.

    Notifications

    blobid0.png
    1. From Menu > Admin/Manager > Employee > Click on the employee in question.
    2. Click the Notifications tab.
    3. Each specific notification is listed on the page with different options for each type of notification. To assign the notification, check to Notify me of this Event located under the notification name.  You may also select options which will narrow down the notifications to only that information which is important to the employee.

    NOTE: Some Notifications require further settings to be made. These are located via Menu > Admin/Manger > System Setup > Account Information > Transaction Preferences > Daily Emails. You will need to select a date for the notifications to begin. If notifications are not being received, please check your server filter settings and workstation email filter settings.

    Screenshots of the various email messages are also included to help with setting up Inbox filters.
