The default for scheduled task change notifications is 7am the next day. So, if notifications are turned on, any changes made up until 11.59pm today will be sent out at 7am tomorrow.  You do have the option to change your schedule notification default to immediate or never via the project and branch settings pages - we'll cover these a little later. 

 


The Project & Milestone Schedule Notification Switches 


We have two types of notification switches: 

  1. The 'Send Schedule Notifications' switch - below the Job number (to the top left of the schedule) dictates whether the notifications for the whole schedule are on or off.
  2. The 'Send Notifications for Task in this Milestone' switch - below each Milestone header (to the top left of each milestone) dictates whether notifications for this milestone only are on or off.  




Task List Start Date Change Notifications


Quick start date changes made in the task list view will be sent via your default - which is typically set to 7am the next day (unless you have changed it in your schedule or branch settings).

 

Changing a task start date via the pencil icon (and the 'task details' pop-up) gives you the option of sending an immediate alert via the 'next' screen - but again the default is 7am the next day. 

 

 



Task Gantt Start Date Change Notifications 

Click and drag task changes via the ‘Task Gantt’ view (changing the task start date) will also be sent via your default - which again is typically set to 7am the next day - unless you have changed it in your schedule or branch settings. 

 

Changing a task start date by double clicking on a task (and the 'task details' pop-up) gives you the option of sending an immediate alert via the 'next' screen - but again the default is 7am the next day. 



NOTE: We have mentioned (a few times) the 7am next day default for schedule change notifications. This is of course assuming that the project is active, the schedule has been activated, and the notifications master switch and the milestone notification switches are also turned on.  Unless all of these points are set, no scheduled task change notifications will go out.
