You can enable automatic reminder for project planning task assignees that a task is approaching its planned start or end date, by using the Due Dates Reminder (in Days) field.
How?
Open the project planning task Information Panel and navigate to the Members tab.
Enter a value (X) in the Due Dates Reminder (in Days) field.
The system will automatically send reminders to task assignees:
Should Be Started – Sent for ‘To Do’ tasks, (X) days before the planned start date.
Should Be Completed – Sent for ‘To Do’ and ‘In Work’ tasks, (X) days before the planned end date.
Notes:
Reminders are sent daily while the task remains within the reminder period and continue until the task becomes late.
Only one reminder type can be sent at a time. If a task qualifies for both reminder types, the Should Be Completed reminder takes priority.
To receive these reminders, ensure that the My Tasks Need to Be Started or Completed setting is enabled in the 3DNotification Center under the Project Planning section.
Example:
A task is planned to start on June 23, finish on June 26, and has a Due Dates Reminder value of 5 days.
- From June 18 through June 21, assignees receive a Should Be Started reminder each day.
- From June 22 through June 26, assignees receive a Should Be Completed reminder each day.
