Project Gate Notifications

Gate approvers are the stakeholders who decide whether a gate should be opened. A project manager adds or removes the approvers for the gate in the Manage Task Details window from the Manage Project Plan page.

When a project manager changes the gate status to In Review, approvers receive gate review notifications.

Note: An approver must be a project enterprise labor resource, active as of the current date.
