Notification Method

Notifications to the resource's manager, resource, and project manager of assignment date and status changes are sent through email.

Note: A worklist item or email notification is not sent to the user who changes the assignment. For example, a worklist item is not sent to the resource's manager to approve a new assignment if the resource's manager is the person who submitted the assignment.

Assignment Approval workflow options are activated on the Resource Management Options page.

Important! For all resources, you must enter a supervisor on the Update Employee Data - Employee Job page before you can use workflow to send assignments for approval or notification to the resource manager. This applies if select the supervisor as the resource manager.
