Error notification to users and groups

To manage scope management properties

Go to the project/shell tab and switch to User mode.
In the left Navigator, click Schedule Manager > Schedule Sheets.
In the Schedule Sheets log, select a schedule sheet and click Properties.
On the General tab, complete or modify the fields described in the following table and then click OK.

In this field:	Do this:
Auto-control	Controls the automatic update of tasks. The default is Off. Setting auto-control to On enables the automatic launch of BP records. Setting auto-control to Off means that BPs will not be launched automatically on activities and completion conditions will not be checked on activities. Users can still launch BPs manually. Note: The system disregards predecessor/successor dependency relationships when you manually start an activity, even if auto-control is set to On in the schedule sheet properties.
Schedule Start Date	Drives the dates of floating activities on the schedule sheet. Activities cannot begin before this date, unless their preceding activities complete previous to this date.
Notify users and/or groups on errors	Select users and groups to be notified if there are errors during the scope management task routing.
