TASK EMAIL ALERTS

The tasks allows all people working on an engagement, including the appointee to easily track the status and flow of tasks.  The weekly emails send reminders to the team of tasks both overdue and due for the week.

An example of how email alerts may be setup as follows:

Monday – USERS ALERT. Users assigned to tasks will receive an email alert for all tasks that are due for that week and any tasks that are overdue. Tasks with no date will be emailed to the Assigned User on the job.

Tuesday – MANAGER ALERT. Reporting Managers receive email alert for all tasks that are due for that week and any tasks that are overdue. This will exclude any tasks that are marked as completed on Monday, before the manager alert is compiled.

Wednesday – APPOINTEE ALERT. Only the first appointee will receive email alert for all tasks that are due for that week and any tasks that are overdue and again less any tasks marked off prior to the alert being compiled.
