Employee Notifications
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
- From Menu > Admin/Manager > Employee > Click on the employee in question.
- Click the Notifications tab.
- 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.
