Alert Settings

[greg13]

We have a team discussion set up for a site. When I go to the Actions menu
and select "Alert Me", I get a whole page of options. One of them is "Send
Alerts To" and that option has my email address listed. I can not edit the
option or add other emails to the list. Would it be possible for me to get
rights to that field? And if so, where can that functionality be turned on?

Did you click the little Browse button in the lower right corner of the
Users field? The system opens the Select People and Groups dialog, from
which you can search for the people you want to add to the Alert. Let us
know.

Dale,
Thanks for responding. No, I don't believe I know what little browse button
you are talking about. I wish I could attach a screen shot!

The PWA "breadcrumbs" indicate I'm on a:
[project site] > Team Discussion > New Alert

There are five fields listed on the page: 1) Alert Title 2) Send Alerts To
3) Change Type 4) Send Alerts for These Changes 5) When to Send Alerts. I
have the ability to change all the fields except for #2. That one just lists
my email address. There is no little browse button anywhere on the page.
Only the OK and Cancel buttons at the top and the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

On the New Alert page, examine the area in the lower right corner of the
Send Alerts To section. There should be two little buttons. The Check
Names button looks like a little person wearing a red shirt with a blue
check mark in front. The Browse button looks like an open book. Are you
saying that there are no little buttons in the Send Alerts To section? Let
us know.

Dale,
That's correct. There are no buttons there, not a check names button or a
browse button.

I have project manager level rights in PWA, BTW. Would I have to have
administrative rights to see those buttons?

Thanks.

Dale,
Yes. Our IT department project server administrator does have rights. He
sent a screen shot of his view, and I can see a text box, with the check
names icon/button and browse icon/button that you spoke of below.

Is their any way, through the Sharepoint permission settings that I presume
he can administer, that he can turn that functionality on for project
managers?

Thanks.

I'm really not a SharePoint expert, so I would recommend you repost this
question as a new post and let our technical folks take a stab at it. Hope
this helps.
